Are you planning to join in on the ABM Book Club in August? You totally should. We're going to be reading Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. I'm really excited about this book because this is one of my all-time favorite authors! I've been a fan of Barbara Kingsolver for nearly a decade now. I first fell in love with her writing when I picked up The Poisonwood Bible. So be sure to get your copy of Flight Behavior soon.
Don't forget Elsie will be leading the book discussion this month on July 31 for #GIRLBOSS. We can't wait to hear your thoughts on this awesome book! xo. Emma

I read this book several months back and loved it! Good choice!
I read this last summer – it won’t disappoint!
Oh good! My mom asked me if I’d read this one after we both read Poisonwood Bible a few years back. Glad you’re giving me the excuse to really read it 🙂
I just saw this at Barnes & Noble and was intrigued! I read The Poisonwood Bible several years and absolutely loved it but I have yet to read anything else from Kingsolver. I hope to get my hands on this in time to participate in book club!
One of my favorite books I’ve read this year! Awesome pick for the book club!
ok i’m looking for a post and i can’t find it for the life of me! one of you posted about like, a sketchbook that you use to organize future home ideas? i think it had like paint swatches and other little things like that. do you know which one i’m talking about? haha i’m trying to make one for my future house but i don’t know how and was hoping to look at your post again.

Great choice, I’m definitely going to read that this summer!
So excited for the discussion, I read this last month and loved it! Kingsolver is one of my favorites.
Oh I used to LOVE Barbara Kingsolver! Secret Life of Bees and Poisonwood Bible, so great. I haven’t been a part of the book club as of yet, but seeing as this seems like such a good choice…
This book looks good!can’t wait!
You always give the best book recommendations, can’t wait to start reading this one too! I actually just wrote about my Summer Reading list 2014, if anyone wants more book suggestions!

Great read! You will enjoy this book especially if you are a Barbara Kingsolver fan…
I am fairly new to ABM so I am still slightly confused on how the book club works. How exactly does everyone discuss the book? Is there a web address or a specific place everyone meets?
Hi Laura! The book is discussed in a post at the end of the month, so just be sure that you read it before the end of the month 🙂
Barbara Kingsolver is my favorite too! I love all of her books, including this one. xoxo
I have read a couple of her books. I have really enjoyed them. I think I may read with the ABM Book Club this August.
Woah! I just finished The Poisonwood Bible a few days ago! Barb is such a great author!
Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors and Poisonwood Bible is one of my all time favorite books. I enjoyed reading Flight Behavior last summer and think it will lead to an interesting discussion.
amazing novel!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Yay! Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorites too! I read Pigs in Heaven while I was in highschool and was hooked. I haven’t tried reading any of your other bookclub selections (yet– they’re on my list!) but I think I will this month. Thanks for the awsome selection!
Great! I started this and can finally join along (instead of trailing behind) on your book selections!
I really wish there was a way to connect with other readers in the area for an actual book club. I just moved and would love to be part of a “live” book club. I kinda just started reading these books on a whim annnnnnddd The Fault In Our Stars and TGLORN were awesome! I’d also be down for movie club…not just new movies. 🙂 Def getting to reading this book next! Okay that was a whole mishmash of thoughts, but a well!
just downloaded the Kindle version. I loved The Poisonwood Bible. Thanks for this selection advise!
Wowzers…just finished Flight Behaviour. Can’t wait to be part of the discussion. I have so many ‘what?’ And ‘how?’ha!
I have been looking for a book club to join. I am excited about this book choice; actually all of your choices look great.
