Musing Mondays (Sept.27)

September 27, 2010

This week’s musing asks…

If your book group asked you to bring two (2) suggestions for group reads to your next meeting, what two books would you suggest? Why?

I actually just met with my face-to-face book group, last Wednesday, to choose our group reads for the next 9 months. Our format is to bring 2 or 3 suggestions, then we all vote for 2, throw these votes in a hat, and the 9 picked become our next years’ worth of books. :D

This time around, I suggested “Open: An Autobiography” by Andre Agassi, and “Your Roots Are Showing” by Elise Chidley.

I suggested “Open” (even though I haven’t yet read it) because I heard –from my online book groups– that it’s a very good read and that, even if you don’t love tennis, you can still really appreciate this book’s story.

And, I suggested “Your Roots Are Showing” because I read it recently, and thought it was lighthearted, and would make for a fun discussion. ;)

If you want to see the list of books our group ended up choosing (and, hooray! they chose “Open” as one of the titles!), I’ve got them up on my other blog:

PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT with either the link to your own Musing Mondays post, or share your answer in a comment here (if you don’t have a blog). Thanks! :D

  4. I like the idea of listing your books for your f2f book club. I never seem to find time to actually go to ours on campus. Anywho, Here’s mine:

  5. This “musing” really made me think….which is a good thing, I guess, especially on a Monday.

    I think yours sounded fascinating…

  7. I don’t belong to a book club, but I answered anyways. Here is my Monday Musing

  8. I went with three rather than two in this week’s musing…because you can never have too many good suggestions, can you?

  9. I would pick a couple of my recent reads, which are ripe for discussion.

  10. I do belong to 2 book clubs. I posted my suggestions:
