News 4's Wake Up Book Club

Friday, April 4, 2008

We're looking for book ideas for our next few months. Any suggestions? We're going to get a list together for the rest of the year so you can know ahead of time which books we'll be reading.

I finished Hattie Big Sky, crying in my car through the last disc. (I listen to a lot of books on CD.) Great book, wonderful history lesson, too. I love reading young adult and middle grade books. There are so many wonderful storylines to choose from--and they're short! Very fulfilling to read a few books a week. Give it a try if you haven't ever picked up a book for teens or tweens. You might get hooked, like me!

Right now I'm listening to Twilight on CD. It's a young adult book about vampires, being made into a movie. It's very intriguinging, but I've got to ask: why are vampire books so hot? I don't normally read vampire books, but heard this was a hot YA (young adult) book and wanted to check it out. Tell me, what's the appeal of vampires?

Just finished reading "3 CUPS OF TEA" and thoroughly enjoyed it. A very thought-provoking true story about an unusual young man and a part of the world I believe most Americans know so little about.

lilbit6180--We read the Glass Castle as our March book pick. Check out our video discussion on the book club page to see what we thought of it. Wow. What a book!

robin228--I'll have to check that out. I love books about little known places and things.
