It seems that many quilters are also readers, so I thought it would be appropriate and fun to blog about some of the books that I have recently read.
I decided to join a book club sponsored by our local library, Kent Free Library. The group meets once a month and we have tea or coffee while discussing our latest book. So far, I've totally enjoyed being in the group and reading the books that were chosen. I started in February with Liar Temptress, Soldier Spy written by Karen Abbott. It was an amazing book and well researched! I learned so much about the Civil War that I had never realized and also discovered the many rolls women played during that period in history. I highly recommend it!

Our next selection was The Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline. Everyone in our club liked this historical fiction selection. Again, I learned about some interesting facts from our American history. If you have never heard about orphan trains, be sure to check out this book. This is a good story!
The book we are reading this month is Monuments Men by Robert M. Edsel. I saw the movie, which I enjoyed, but am looking forward to reading the book this month. I'll let you know what I think about this book in May after out next meeting.
Happy spring reading to all my quilting friends and remember you can always listen to a book on CD or on your Kindle while you are quilting.
Thanks for the suggestions! I love historical novels.
