September Group Read is...
Okay so we have another tie, but it is getting into the month and people want to get reading so I went to random.org and put in 1 - 2 and let random.org pick! So, thanks to random.org we are going to read The Color Purple by Alice Walker!
Description: Celie is a poor black woman whose letters tell the story of 20 years of her life, beginning at age 14 when she is being abused and raped by her father and attempting to protect her sister from the same fate, and continuing over the course of her marriage to "Mister," a brutal man who terrorizes her. Celie eventually learns that her abusive husband has been keeping her sister's letters from her and the rage she feels, combined with an example of love and independence provided by her close friend Shug, pushes her finally toward an awakening of her creative and loving self.
Remember for all that take part in this Group Read and in the comment section of the discussion will earn an entry into winning a copyof the October Group Read selection! And if you write a guest post you also get yourself an extra entry! So get reading!
You can get it off Amazoon here.
The summary and notes are here.
Who has read this before? I have never read it! I am excited to read this 'banned' book in honor of banned books week!

I am going to do something new this month with our group read. At the end of the month when I post the discussion questions I will use the comment section to randomly pick a person to win a free copy of the October Group Read! So those of you who participate in the reading and discussion of whatever we pick for September have the opportunity to win October's book free! Also, for anyone who writes a guest post for the September Read will also get another 2 additional entries. So, participating in the September Read can get you a free book!
Books we have already read include...
The One That I Want
The Secret Garden
House Rules
American Wife Kelly's Guest Post Lisa's Guest Post
Firefly Lane
Middlesex
The Reader
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The Awakening
Pride & Prejudice
I See You Everywhere
I will also suggest we pick something that has been out for awhile because it seems it is harder for everyone to get newer books! Banned Books Week is in September, so maybe we would want to read a book that has been banned? ALA site about banned books week Children's books that are continually challenged and the banned books site!
I will leave suggestions up until early Wednesday morning and then I will post the poll up til Friday!
