Drawing a book out of a hat

Matt and I were discussing the possibilities of this month's book, due to new blog by-laws and the time constraints of getting it read by Dec. 1.

We came up with a list. I wrote the names of the individual books on little slips of paper and drew one out of my husband's hat.

The list was pretty impressive. Twelve in total. Some on Matt's side I haven't read, and I daresay some on mine he hasn't read -- but that's the point here, isn't it? To relax, read a book you might not otherwise have picked up (or conversely revisit with an old book-friend) and discuss it, even if it's just to say what you liked and what you didn't. Believe me, we welcome all opinions here.

This month's book is (drumroll, please) My Antonia by Willa Cather. It's not too long, and quite an interesting read.

Enjoy, and we'll see you back here December 1!
