It's gotten really cold here in New York, and they are saying snow is on the way. I have decided in my next life I want to be a weatherperson. Think about it. You can declare it's going to snow, or rain, or be sunny, be wrong and keep your job. You can get jazzed by the potential for bad weather. Seriously, I think it's amazing that these folks can send an entire city of people out of the house with umbrella in hand. Hmmmmm...and to think all I want to do is send you out of the house --- or into the house for that matter --- with a book you love in hand!

Here's hoping your holiday season was filled with great reveling and good cheer, as well as a few good books. I was on the Outer Banks for the holidays where we had some sunny days with temperatures in the mid-60s and crystal clear skies. I happily sat on the deck reading away like it was summertime. It was a perfect break.
Does your group pick a list of the "best books of the year" from the list that you have discussed?

I'm thrilled to share with you guides for two books that we have received repeated requests for from our readers --- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I feel that in delivering these guides we are giving our version of a great holiday gift to book club readers.
Do you read different types of books with your group than you read on your own?
