"Sister of My Heart"

Well girls it a new month, can you believe it. It's already time for a new book. Well before we get to the next book I think I should share my thoughts on the our last book, "Sister of my Heart". Just having discovered Divakaruni, I must say I am smitten with her style. She is crafty, thorough, and creative. Great storyline, an insight into a world far away from our own, the culture, value and belief system of India. She has captured the essence of the old traditions and the struggles of the modern generation. Reading her book sparked a deep desire to learn more about my ancestors. As you may already know, I was born in Trinidad, but my family is originally from India. I wandered how it would be to have grown up with a stronger India influence. How I would look in a sari. Her book left me wanting to know more, to read more and share it with you.

Sorry about the poor grammar

Author Rochelle Mcakenzie "night before dawn"

This was the conception of the Reading Club. I myself did not see it coming. There was not protection from the charming and intelligent Rochelle McKenzie. I met her in Jamaica on the beach on her last day of her vacation in Nov'09. And not surprising to any of you we started chatting. I know what you're all thinking that Jennifer loves to chat, sometimes we would like her to just shout up.....LOL. Well unknow to me, I was chatting with an author, in person, on the beach in my bikini. She ask if I like reading, well of I do, not an avid reader as Archer & his mommy, but I have been in search of a capturing book other than the Harlequin books (predictable, basic, and short) I read in my teenage years ( I know, I still act like a teenager). She handed a bookmarker with her picture(pretty) and a write in her book "Night before Dawn", I read it, I was captured....my desire to read without stopping only long enough to letting anyone who would listen, what a great book it was. Oh yes I got my very own personally authographed copy. Girls this is a very riveting, exciting and captivating book. Easy to read....real life tissues...love & hate...deceit & deception...pain & pleasure....life & death....sin & shame......healing & forgiveness. A must read.

My copy has started it's circulation...already read by Marcia and now with Pheobe. I can't wait to read their feedback. Girls I encourage you to write your response inside the book. Just date sign your name to it. My desire is to pass my copy of the books around to all my followers. I also ask for your comments posted on my blog this way all our followers can read our thoughts. I also encourge you to invite your friend to our reading club.

Wow I did it.

I have a blog account. Can you believe that, me, Jennifer Wong I am on to new and exciting things girls. Yes this is a girls only club. Here we can feel safe to say whatever we want. Here we can share our deepest thoughts, or just the little stupid ones. Okay enough. I hope this blog will be a place we can share all the interesting books we, the girls, are reading.
