Where the Mountain Meets the Moon December Book Group

I can't believe it is December already! And a third of the way through at that! This year flew by!

But back to more important matters. Our December book group met on December 7th. We read 'Where the Mountain Meets the Moon' by Grace Lin which is actually a juvenile (kids) book. The reason we did a juvenile book is because December is a very busy month for most people. Between the Holidays, exams in school, and traveling, there is not much time to read. A shorter book tends to mean that people will get through it faster, or at least attempt to give it a go.

Members really enjoyed the book. They thought it was very good and described it as a feel good sort of book. Something people want to feel when they are particularly busy. The images in the book were beautiful. We spoke about adventures, our own childhoods, friendships and family. We covered a wide range of topics as people shared more about themselves in relation to situations in the book. We ended the group early because people ran out of things to say which is usually the case when the group tends to agree as a whole that it was a good book.
