Book Club: October 2016 Review

The Island by Elin Hilderbrand.  This was another good Hilderbrand book.  It is about a family coming together when they need each other the most.  I felt that all the loose ends were tied up at the end, which is my favorite.  

Take Me With You by Catherine Ryan Hyde.  I really had no expectations going into this book, but thoroughly enjoyed it.  It's about the relationship that forms between a man and two young boys during one summer road trip.  The man lost his son, which then ended up in his marriage falling apart.  The boys helped him grieve, and he helped them out of a bad situation.  That relationship continues on years later and I think the second part of the book is definitely my favorite.  I definitely suggest checking this one out.

Dancing with Fireflies by Denise Hunter.  I totally picked this up from seeing the cover.  A tragic event leads to the main character leaving the city to be home with her family.  During that time a romance develops with someone from her past.  There are typical ups and downs in this love story.  It's more of a Christian romance novel and is complete with a happy ending.

Silver Girl by Elin Hilderbrand.  I really, really liked this Hilderbrand book.  It was a quick read, about two women that are both dealing with their own issues.  One whose husband commited fraud, and the other whose husband passed away.  They actually have been estranged the past few years, but turned to each other in this time of need.  It's interesting to see their relationship grow, as well as how they deal with the other stresses.

The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom.  This book takes you back to the days of slaves.  It's crazy to think of how life was back then, the way people were treated.  It wasn't my favorite because I kind of got confused with the characters, and had a hard time getting back into it every time I put it down.  However, the ending was a good one, once I got towards there, I had to keep reading to find out what happened.

I have a stack of books to get through this month, but am always adding to my reading list, so please let me know if you have any suggestions!
