First of all those cupcakes are amazing!!! I think I'll have to show those to my mom and request that I get some like those with all my favorite books for my birthday! Secondly I like you love a book with flawed characters! I love to be able to relate to inner turmoil that I have myself but am not very vocal about.

When my book club chose Gone Girl I chose not to read it because of the language and controversy. Thank you for sharing at Bound By Books. For what it's worth-jeannie

Recently, my quarterly book club read "We Are All completely Beside Ourselves" by Karen Joy Fowler! Lots of discussion and interesting tangents!

Amen! Boo to the electronics and social media, except for when I love them! But yes, they do cut into reading for me, too.

Eat, Pray, Love has been sitting on my shelf for an eternity and I just haven't picked it up. I do know that there are strong feelings about it! Maybe I should suggest it for my book club. The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns are both good choices for book clubs, too, I agree. I haven't yet read The History of Love.

Have you tried Baking Cakes in Kigali? It has plenty of difficult topics and characters, but also hope and humor.

First of all, I LOVE the cupcakes! I'm glad you clarified, because I was totally going to ask. They are so cute!!!

I haven't read some of these, Peace Like a River, I think I have it but definitely have not read it. The Glass Castle was a fantastic book – and discussion. I'm not in a book club that meets in person anymore, always fell apart, I guess, but Eat, Pray, Love was an interesting discussion because everyone fell on different sides. It was actually after discussing it that I realized I didn't love it as much as I thought I did initially. 😉

I also really liked discussing The Kite Runner with a book club. That and The History of Love. Great post here, Lara! I'm totally sharing as I know my reading peeps will enjoy it!

I am just getting back in to reading (and blogging). I think electronics and social media has taken all my free time over the last several years and I realized one day that I missed reading. I'm starting to do a few book reviews on my blog. But anyway, I wish I had a great book club to belong to. Maybe that is something I'll think about doing, as I love a good book discussion. p.s. I love the photo at the top of the post.
