Announcing the "Children of God" Read-a-long
Have you read THE SPARROW
, by Mary Doria Russell? If not you are missing out on a fabulous book, one of those books that really makes you think about the "big questions" in life. A few months ago I co-hosted a read-a-long of that book in the hopes that I could introduce it to more readers. It was a great success, and now I want to read the follow-up book with you as well.
CHILDREN OF GOD
continues the story that began in THE SPARROW. For me, it is an even better book
than the first one, but not everyone agrees. Are you ready to give it a try? Plan to read along with me in August and see where you stand.

ReplyDeleteOoh, I may do this one. The girl I read The Sparrow with has already read Children of God, and I really want to read it with someone and discuss, so hopefully I can get my act together for this!
