Next Book....

The next book will be chosen from Jenny.
It will be....

The Second Time Around
by Mary Higgins Clark

The Gable Faces East - Question #9

9- Do you think the book ended as it should have? Did you like how it ended? What was your favorite plot twist?

The Gable Faces East - Question #8

8- I think the message of this book is that love transcends all obstacles and you are not ruled by your blood but can make your own choices. Do you think love is truly strong enough to conquer all things?

The Gable Faces East - Question #6

6- It is interesting how time & circumstances can change things. How do you feel about second chances and destiny?

The Gable Faces East - Question #7

7- Family relationships are hard to maintain sometimes & this book portrays how hate, jealousy, adultry, etc. can really ruin generations of families and how those emotions really impact people. What did you think of Chad and that whole situation?

The Gable Faces East - Question #5

5- I was often shocked at how good a man & friend Richard was to Alexa and to Jess. How do you feel about him & about friendship that runs so deep?

The Gable Faces East - Question #4

4- How did you feel about Alexa's marriage decisions?

The Gable Faces East - Question #3

3- This is another girl power book. Alexa is such a strong, powerful woman with a commanding presence as well as a tender soft side. How, if at all, did you relate to Alexa?

The Gable Faces East - Question #2

2- This book often reminded me of Romeo & Juliet because love can make people so hateful & so loving at the same time. What is it about love that brings out all the deep emotions like fear, passion, doubt, hate, etc?

The Gable Faces East - Question #1

1- What do you think about Alexa & Jess's relationship and Alexa & Richard's relationship? How are they different? Who do you think suits Alexa better?

Next book

Just to let you know. We are close to starting our next book. If you have finished Goose Girl and are ready, please post a comment and let us all know.

Our next book will be The Gable Faces East by Anita Stansfield. As soon as everyone has finished Goose Girl we will "officially" start The Gable Faces East.

Goose Girl #7

Sometimes we look at the glamorous life and think it looks so appealing (like Selia being a queen, having money, being popular, beautiful, etc). It can be easy to forget how wonderful a simple life can be (like Ani being a goose girl). What have you learned about this challenge in your life? The challenge to be happy with where you are instead of thinking about how the grass is greener.

Goose Girl #6

This book started slow but got really exciting once they were in the forest. When did you really start liking the story and/or what was your favorite part?

Goose Girl #5

When I read the book, I thought a lot about friendship and betrayal. Who do you think were true friends to Ani and why?
