   I’m very happy I didn’t push myself to read the book club book this month. There were some positive comments about the language but it sounded like there was a lot people didn’t like.

     @kiesa When I was in a book club I also skipped books sometimes, and that was always a good move.

     What was your book club's book (if you're OK with sharing that)?

     @jeridansky It was The Road Home by Rose Tremaine. I just found this website talking about it and it’s very similar to what the other book club people were saying: https://readingmattersblog.com/2008/07/06/the-road-home-by-rose-tremain/

     @kiesa I've never read anything by Tremaine, but I have read some Maeve Binchy, years ago now, so this made me grin: "It was like Maeve Binchy suddenly took over the narrative and injected a bit of heart-warming sentimentality."
