My granddaughter is an avid reader. I am proud of this and thankful for it because it is my belief that if you can read you have the world in your hands.
She is now 8 and is reading fairly advanced and sophisticated books (i.e. Harry Potter). She has asked me to read some of the books that she has found particularly compelling.
So, we started the Bean and Me Book Club. This is how it works. She reads the books, recommends them to me (and loans them to me sometimes -- the kid has an impressive personal library) and then I read them.
Our most recent read is "Because of Winn Dixie" by Kate DiCamillo. I saw the movie years ago and enjoyed it and am really looking forward to starting this book. I am sure it will be one of those I can't put down and it will probably be a quick read. It is on my Kindle and I always read faster on the device.
The queue is growing and I was told this morning what I will be reading when I am done with this. It looks like a good variety. I love that we are able to share this love of reading.
I might even start a blog devoted completely to his book club. I have to think about that.
