I stayed up late last night, reading THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS, by Vanessa Diffenbaugh. Usually I read Love Inspired books by my favorite authors or single title suspense stories, often best sellers, so this current book isn't one I normally would have bought. However, I'm in a book club, and THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS was this month's selection.
The book is a riveting read and hooked me on the first page. I'll finish it this evening and will discuss it with my friends tomorrow night when the book club meets. We rotate homes each month, and the hostess picks the next selection so we get a mix of genres and titles. In my opinion, that's good. It forces me to read stories outside my usual reading comfort zone.
Are you in a book club? If so, share what you enjoy about your group and the way you choose the monthly titles.
Not currently in a book club? Then share what you're reading, especially if it's a book you normally wouldn't have read.
What do we gain by reading outside our favorite genres?
Wishing you abundant blessings,
