The Reading Group follows the trials and tribulations of a group of women who meet regularly to read and discuss books.Over the course of a year, each of these women become intertwined, both in the books they read and within each other's lives. Inspired by a shared desire for conversation, a good book and a glass of wine-Clare, Harriet, Nicole, Polly, and Susan undergo startling revelations and transformations despite their differences in background, age and respective dilemmas. What starts as a reading group gradually evolves into a forum where the women may express their views through the books they read and grow to become increasingly more open as the bonds of friendship cement.

This is my current read.

August 1, 2008--I'm finding this one a little difficult to read. I guess it's the multiple story lines--I'm having trouble keeping them sorted out in my head.

October 12, 2008--I put this aside for a while, but I'm going to make an attempt to get through it now.

I can't say that I really enjoyed this one. I found that it did not hold my attention (as you can see it took me several months to finish it). The convoluted and intertwined relationships were confusing.

Probably going to the winner of taaza's Happy Day RABCK contest.

Sent to the winner of taaza's Happy Day RABCK contest. Happy reading! (Sorry, I didn't have anything that was on your wishlist, but I hope that you will enjoy this one.)

So exciting! I won TAAZA's "Happy Day RABCK Contest!" This looks exactly like something I'll enjoy! Thank you, Turbostitcher, for sending it to me! The exact thing you found difficult is what I actually like most about some books: The multiple story lines, and inter-relationships of plots and sub-plots, etc!

May 24, 2013: Finally near the top of Mount TBR! Short List! LOL!

June 27, 2013: Starting to read this today! It's been on my TBR mountain for a long time, and I'm glad I'm finally getting to it!

June 30, 2013: I am really enjoying this book. I like the way the narrative voice changes often and gives us so many different perspectives.

July 8, 2013: Finished and enjoyed, and now set aside for Booklady331's Already Been Crossed Virtual BookBox (Link)

July 23, 2013: On its way to tabby-cat-owner as part ofBooklady331's Already Been Crossed Virtual BookBox. I hope you enjoy it!

☺ Happy Traveling, Book! ☺

I received this book in the mail from Dove-I-Libri of Fort, Florida through participation in the ABC (Already Been Bookcrossed) VBB.

Thank you so much for sending me this book, Dove-I-Libri. I am looking forward to reading it.

This book has been donated to the General Literature VBB organized by bookstogive of Springville, Tennessee.

Although I loved the format of this book, I did get confused by the various characters in this book which is probably why the author has a list of characters at the beginning of the book explaining their family situations and background. I found that I did not enjoy this book as much as I expected because I generally did not like or admire the characters much. Most of the characters did have a life changing year during the course of this book and their problems were solved. There was only one character that I truly admired of the assortment in this book. Furthermore, of the twelve books featured over the course of the year of this reading group, I have only read two of them. The discussions did not motivate me to want to read any of the other books.

This book has been removed from the General Literature VBB organized by bookstogive.
