Book for July
Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm is the book I chose for July because it is a very easy and fun read. I think it will remind us all of the little girls we once were and the dreams we had as children. This story reminds me a lot of the Anne of Green Gables series which are some of my absolute favorite books to read so even though you're busy in July I really encourage you to pick up and get lost in the beautiful and sometimes funny world of Rebecca's with me!

Austenland 2
Like Kimberly, I also finished reading Austenland. It was a really fun read! I think when the movie comes out we should make some girls night plans...
The entire time I was reading this book I kept thinking about what it would be like to go to an 'Austenland' and act the part of a lady etc. It would make me feel so ridiculous! I think I even had a dream about it one night...but don't worry, I am not obsessed with Jane Austen stories.
I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading anyone else's comments. Oh, Kimberly and Hannah, I will be back in June and I think it's my turn to do book club meeting so I will be in touch with you both!

Austenland
I just finished Austenland last night (it took me 3 days?) and thought I should write about it soon while I still have the motivation in me. Sorry I have neglected to post on the last few books, but I have been reading them! Hope you are all out there still participating too!
I had read Austenland years ago when Bekah introduced me to it, but reading it again made me realize how much I had forgotten. I had totally forgotten how it ended which made it that much more fun and exciting to read. I had also forgotten how funny this book is. I rarely laugh out loud when I am reading books but this one made me do it a few times. My favorite was the "rubbing your nose in the poop of my happiness" line. Where does she come up with these things? I like her candid writing style in this book, it's like reading someone's blog.
Anyways, it was a fun book. Not really much to discuss in depth, just an easy read to help pass the time and make you laugh. I think we all need a book like that once in awhile. Thanks Bekah.
Looking forward to seeing what the movie is like!
