Can you believe t is time to choose a book (or two!) for April already?!
When nominating, please keep in mind the books we have already read, and try to avoid books that are newly released as those are more difficult to get from the library.
Thanks!

If no one else nominates anything then we will read A Small Hotel by Robert Olen Butler in April.

I thought so! Already, I am wanting to dig deeper into their 24 years to find out what happened to make them fall apart. That is a long time and alot of memories... Cool perspective too, working backwards to the beginning. :)

I'm brand new to the site and the group (just joined today) but I love to read and would LOVE to be in a book club to discuss it with. I don't know what protocol is on suggestions, but I was browsing and ran across the book: A Small Hotel by Robert Olen Butler. Here is a short description
"Set in contemporary New Orleans but working its way back in time, A Small Hotel chronicles the relationship between Michael and Kelly Hays, who have decided to separate after twenty-four years of marriage. The book begins on the day that the Hays are to finalize their divorce. Kelly is due to be in court, but instead she drives from her home in Pensacola, Florida, across the panhandle to New Orleans and checks into Room 303 at the Olivier House in the city’s French Quarter—the hotel where she and Michael fell in love some twenty-five years earlier and where she now finds herself about to make a decision that will forever affect her, Michael, and their nineteen-year-old daughter, Samantha. An intelligent, deeply moving, and remarkably written portrait of a relationship that reads as a cross between a romance novel and a literary page turner, A Small Hotel is a masterful story that will remind readers once again why Robert Olen Butler has been called the “best living American writer” (Jeff Guinn, Fort Worth Star-Telegram).
It came out August of 2011, so hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to find in libraries. Just a thought! Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!
