January Book Club Selection

Hey, guys! Just wanted to let you know what we'll be reading for the A Beautiful Mess book club in January so you can order or put your copy on hold at the library soon. We'll be reading Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

. If you're more of a viewer than a reader, you'll be happy to know this book was made into a film starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack. So feel free to cheat on your homework and watch the movie, or both. I can't stop you.

I'm super stoked for January because Joy the Baker will be guest moderating for us. I've been a fan of Joy's since before I even blogged my first recipe. It's true! Joy doesn't know it, but we go way back. :)

Joy might be mostly known as a baker and cookbook author, but she also has great book recommendations on her site and a whole lot of personality in her writing, so I'm excited to welcome her to the ABM book club next month.

And as we near the end of 2014, I can't help but be amazed that it was nearly a year ago that we started the ABM book club. Time flies! My main goal with the club was to force myself to read more regularly and to share awesome books with my virtual friends (that's you guys!). It has been a year full of really fun books and interesting discussions. I've loved it. I hope you have to. I can't wait to see what we read in 2015 together. :) xo. Emma
