Our May Book:
A Reliable Wife
By Robert Goolrick
There were only a few of us who met at Big Bowl to discuss this book, but we still had quite a bit to talk about. Overall, it's was a book that we read but that wasn't all the great. What threw us off the most was trying to understand the character's and their turn-of-the-century life. It was hard to relate to the woman who is the "reliable wife" but also hard to relate to her husband. It was just a little too weird. As you can tell, not really a book club favorite.

I just found this blog, and I loved reading your comments about each of the books you've read. Did you like "Time Traveler's Wife?"
I'm curious, because I didn't read the book, and thought the movie was boring. I wondered if I would have enjoyed the movie more, had I read the book.
Has you group ever read a Jodi Picoult or Phillipa Gregory? My two favorites.
Just curious!
I personally did not like Time Traveler's Wife. I found it boring and confusing. But there are many other members who loved it.
I have read a few of Jodi Picoutlt's books, but unfortunately, I think I read her best writing first (19 minutes) and nothing else she has written has come close to captivating my attention like 19 Minutes.
Try a few of my favorites:
Beneath a Marble Sky
Red Tent
