I started going to a book club meeting at my local library. I
never knew they had one and had been going sporadically to one held by a meetup
group I'm a part of. Here's what we've been reading:
Title: Clock
Dance
Author: Anne Tyler
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
Review: Beautifully
written but slow moving. The story is broken into 2 parts, I liked the
first part more than the second part. The second part, which was the core part
of the novel just seemed implausible.

Review: I
really liked this book, it was an incredible story. There was a lot of
discussion on how she didn't really want to leave North Korea, but due to a
stupid teenage mistake she because a North Korean defector. Even with that we
all had to agree, she is amazing for what she was able to do survive.
Title: Brave New World
Author: Aldous Huxley
Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Review: This
was my first time reading this novel (no I didn't have to read it in
school). We talked a lot about how the novel is sort of the transition
point between a utopia and a distopia, like this world is on it's way to a
more 1984 type world. It does seem to be one of the more
stable societies of a lot of utopian/distopian novels.
Title: Out of the Easy
Author: Ruta
Sepetys
Rating: 4
of 5 stars
Review: I
liked this novel a lot, I mean it was set in one of my favorite cities during
an interesting era and Josie was a wonderful main character.
