Book: Tell the Wolves I'm Home

Author: Carol Rifka Brunt

June is the 14-year-old narrator of the book.

And I just love her. She's wise beyond her years...far, far beyond her years. 

The year: 1986.  Her beloved uncle dies of AIDS - and in the months that follow, she learns a lot about love, loss, and the bond of siblings. 

I give it 8/10 stars. * * * * * * * *

Tonight I joined a new book group, and we discussed this one. 

Let me tell you - I LOVE BOOK GROUPS.

During my internship year of seminary, I started a book group called "Redeemer's Readers" and I've loved book groups ever since. 

I love book world (that place you enter into when you're deeply engrossed in a novel).

And I love talking about books. 

Joining this group reminded me of how much joy reading brings me.

I'm thankful for the incentive to make reading a top priority area. 

Good for the brain.
Good for the soul.

Reading anything good lately?
