Healy Happenings: Times of need

My dear friends,

Please send all of your positive thoughts and prayers to my friend's Tyra and Steve. They need it right now.

Thank you.

What I'm reading this month

June: The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri (this story pulls you in from the first pages. I couldn't put it down!)
MARCH: The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (hmmm ... I skipped March but playing catch up as the girls all loved this one!)
FEB.: A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J. Gaines (definitely worth reading, but is more than a quick chick flick)
JAN.: Before the Storm by Diane Chamberlain (couldn't put it down!)
DEC.: The Red Tent by Anita Diamant (a fascinating historical fiction about Dinah, mentioned in the Biblical book of Genesis; definitely worth a read)
OCT./NOV.: Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson (interesting story about imaginary friends)
JULY: Bikini Season by Sheila Roberts (total chick-lit but entertaining story about a group of women who diet and exercise together to improve their self-image)
JUNE: I'm skipping this month, since book club is a week earlier and the read is a trashy romance novel. Besides I'm spending these beautiful evenings out running, not inside reading!
MAY: Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Piccoult (excellent choice by an excellent author; we had already read and enjoyed "My Sister's Keeper")
APRIL: The Friday Night Knitting Club (fabulous book that'll move you to tears)
MARCH: I weasled my way out of hosting book club this month, because I'm working seven days a week at the moment. The group is reading some book about vampires. Not worth mentioning, since I won't have a chance to even see the cover!
FEBRUARY: The Kite Runner (a page-turner)
JANUARY: The Devil in the White City (worth every page!)
DECEMBER: The Jane Austen Book Club (only if you have the time)
