It's Monday! What are you reading? -- 1/25/10
Happy Monday! This week I am working on Consumption by Kevin Patterson. This book is for the library book club that I belong to. I just finished a chapter in which the main character gives birth and the details were so vivid I actually felt nauseous.Last week, I finished The House on Tradd Street by Karen White. It was a nice mystery with a paranormal kick, you can read my review here -- The House on Tradd Street review.
What are you reading this week? This meme is hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog.

Barney's Online Book Club -- January 2010 Discussion
Welcome to the fifth discussion post of Barney's Online Book Club. This month we are discussing The House on Tradd Street by Karen White. Below are some questions to start the discussion but feel free to raise your own in the comments section. Please note that the questions and comments may include spoilers -- so read at your own risk!Let the discussion begin!
1. How much do you think Melanie's upbringing played in creating the person she becomes?
2. How did you feel about Melanie's relationship with her parents? Melanie begrudgingly gives her father a second chance, but refuses to do the same thing for her mother. Do you feel this was fair?
3. Melanie and her best friend are complete opposites. Do you think that their opposite personalities attracted them to each other?
4. In the beginning, Melanie hates old houses. Was her transformation into a home owner realistic? What was the role of the ghosts in helping her love her new home?
5. What was your overall impression of the book? Will you read the sequel?
