Book Club(s)

For some time now I've been part of two book clubs, and thought  I would begin sharing what we're reading.  In one, this month I am reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, a book I haven't read since high school.  We're reading the 'Insight Edition' which has trivia, and historical notes throughout.  I'm hoping I feel differently about it this time around, that's all I'll say.   

My second book club is a little more relaxed, we meet whenever the majority of us have finished the book which is usually about every six weeks.  In honor of Black History Month, we're reading Cane River by Lalita Tademy.  It was an Oprah selection a good while back.  

I won't give away plot, but I do hope to share some general opinions each month about the selections.  I'd also love to hear from others (no spoilers please) that have read or are reading any of them.  :)

I've read Pride & Prejudice, and I really liked it on my first read, but when I read it again (although it was not too long after, so that could be a cause) I didn't like it as much. I'm a bit of a sucker for romance, though, so I guess it depends on your taste.
Hope you're having fun reading!
