She Reads – The Violets of March

I love my community book group. We have a wide ranging taste in fiction and, since members take it in turns to propose books, we’re often pushed out of our normal reading comfort zone. Our discussions are always lively and proof that there are as many different opinions about a novel as there are readers. I’d participate in an online group, as long as I still had space in my schedule to read my own book choices as well.

I agree, Rachelle. I really enjoyed reading Sarah’s debut, The Violets of March, and look forward to her next, The Bungalow. Sarah is one of the sweetest authors I’ve met, and balances writing (prolifically) with her very busy mom-life of caring for her three young sons. She is truly inspiring in every way. I’m glad you and She Reads chose her book!

Though I read many books in a month, I’m not in an online book club, but might consider it. Thanks for the rec, Rachelle.

I put the book on my Amazon wish list. I always save the shipping by waiting until I have “enough”.

Thank you, I will check out the book club. I want to study what makes the books inspiring.

Probably won’t surprise you this one is on my TBR list. Love She Reads. Love my local book club. I trust word of mouth more when I’ve interacted with the readers in a book club. I get a feel for what they like and if it would match my taste.

Thanks for the tip Rachelle. This book club sounds wonderful.

I’m going to make sure my daughter sees this post. She has signed up for your blog but I want to make sure.

The type books you mentioned sound inspirational.

I really enjoyed The Violets of March, great selection! For me this was a perfect example of judging a book by it’s cover. Gorgeous. Fortunately, the story was just as good!

Oh, this sounds great! I used to live near Bainbridge – gorgeous country. And always love it when a Christian author has a mainstream publisher.
Thanks for sharing about She Reads. I’m a voracious reader but DON’T read much Christian fiction. Ironically, if I see it’s from a Christian pub, I avoid it. Why? Too anemic, the writing is generally not that great and so many ideas are recycled. Amish, mail order brides, monsters that are supernaturally demonic. *yawn*

I totally AGREE with Melodie and Cathy on this one. There is something so played about Christian fiction. It’s the same with christian music; the sound is the same and the delivery is Sooooo lamentable.

I don’t want to paint Christian fiction with the same broad stroke…but it’s all so Little House on the Prairie. And while there are some nice things about P31,it remains a very cookie cutter brand. If they shook things up and sought out interesting stories (not all sad or preachy)told in interesting ways, then the book club might be a lot of fun. But I doubt I’d see titles like Water for Elephants, Night Circus or even The Help. But who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised.

Wow, that is is so cool that you posted about an online book club. I’ve checked out one out last year, but couldn’t quite get in its groove, perhaps because it was too big or maybe it was the season of life I was in. As authors, reading is so important and to be able to stay connected to that side of us can benefit our own writing. Since I am unable to attend a book club in person at the moment, I had decided to start an online book club of my own with emphasis in speculative fiction, but not limited to it. We shall see how it goes and I will definitely check out “She Reads”. Thanks for the heads up!

I took a peek at some of the discussion on She Reads about The Violets of March–very intriguing! I definitely need to get this book!

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
