We had our biggest turn out at book club this month, ten people! We packed it in and chatted about a book that we all enjoyed and almost all of us finished: The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls.

The Glass Castle is a memoir about growing up in an unconventional family. Jeanette is one of four children who have extremely smart but unorthodox parents. Her father is an alcoholic and her mother is (in my opinion) definitely bipolar. The children work to raise themselves and take care of their parents, making for some surprising and interesting stories. We all absolutely recommended this one for a quick, enjoyable summer read. For next month, we are reading Room: A Novel by Emma Donoghue.
ok I'm #2 on the wait list at the library. I've been wanting to read Room for a long time!
