Our premiere event! Our premiere book selection!
We all gathered at my house last night and discussed A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. We all agreed on a few things, but firstly, that it isn't a book you'd normally gravitate toward! I'd also go so far as to say that I would not recommend trying to speed read it (as I did)! The story is about a time when things just were a little (okay a lot!) slower-paced! No TV, no electricity, no Internet. It's about saving scraps of newspaper for taking to the butcher, and then pinching every penny possible.
I encourage you to post your thoughts on this book (even if you did not attend)! Happy reading!
