You know that book…. the one that grabs you by the heart strings. The one that draws you in so quickly it’s almost like the world around you somehow blurs.Where the only sound you here is the brushing of your hand against the pages as you turn each one. You know that book? Bloom, is that book. Are you reading it with our book club this month?
Have you entered the giveaway? 
Oh my goodness we only had two “offical” votes for the April book and we have 42 book club members……sigh, do you think the shine may be wearing off on our wonderful book club? I sure hope not. I did hear from a few off you and there was very little interest in the book selection this month ( thank you to those that did vote however) . So, I’ve done something wild, something crazy, something out of the ordinary!!!
I selected the book. That’s right, I did it! I cant wait to read it! The book for this month is not even one that was listed ( see above sentence about lack of interest) .Instead I have chosen Bloom by Kelli Hampton as our book club book for April. I hope you will join me in reading it. I look forward to your comments and I will be sending emails to all of the book club members announcing the selection. If you are not a member of our book club you are always welcome to join. Lets see if we can get it shining bright again.

Book Description from Amazon- Love me. Love me. I’m not what you expected, but oh, please love me. That was the most defining moment of my life. That was the beginning of my story.
From the outside looking in, Kelle Hampton had the perfect life: a beautiful two-year-old daughter, a loving husband, a thriving photography career, and great friends. When she learned she was pregnant with her second child, she and her husband, Brett, were ecstatic. Her pregnancy went smoothly and the ultrasounds showed a beautiful, healthy, high-kicking baby girl.
Will you read it with me?

I’m trying something new for the book club selection this time. We have had a couple of disappointing books lately. I’m hoping this will be a fun way to make the selection. I have selected three of the second place books from previous book club votes, just three. It is interesting how they are all similar selection. Please make your selection from this list. Leave your vote in the comment section and I will announce the new book club selection next Tuesday. I look forward to reading you comments on The Leftovers soon. I will post my review and final comments next week.

Okay my sweet bloggy friends and book clubbers, I’ll see you back here tomorrow for Wordless Wednesday.
The calendar shows it is the first day of Spring. But, unfortunately, here in Utah there isn’t much sign of spring outside.
I’m sharing a little wishful thinking with you by posting one of my photos from the tulip festival a couple of years ago.
Wishing you a beautiful spring! Do you have Spring weather where you are?
