Hello Brittany, Welcome :)
I totally agree with you!! Staring a flat screen is socially acceptable but reading in public is seen as weird.. I don't know if happens to other people too but sometimes when I pull out a book in public I get some of the most incredulous looks, lol!
Their face expression says everything: "watch it, that chick has a book...cover your neurons folks" lol... well, you're not gonna get those looks from us :) Our neurons are out to play here!! lol.. :D

Hello Marleen and Welcome!!
I don't have babies but I can feel the exhaustion you talk about! Sometimes, at the end of the day even your favourite books is too heavy to handle.. don't worry, though.. we will find good books, entertaining but not too complex for those who doesn't feel like reading Freud :)

Hey Readers,
the main reason for this club to be is sharing thoughts about what we love the most: books.
"I think this book is" is where you can write about the book you're reading and let everybody know if it worths it or not..

Hello Readers,
here we are with the Economy & Politics Book Suggestion for the month of December, 2015: The Locust Effect: Why the End of Poverty Requires the End of Violence, by Gary A. Haugen, Victor Boutros



"World poverty is both an intractable and ever-mutable problem. It has afflicted humanity since the earliest times, but its basic features ― aside from the constant, want ― have evolved as history has moved from epoch to epoch. Today, there is broad recognition that a significant segment of the global population is impoverished despite the globalization of the world economy. [..] Two questions ― why destitution is so persistent despite massive global economic growth and what can be done about it ― have animated debates among development scholars and poverty researchers for decades. [..] Yet until now, virtually no one has addressed in a substantial way the most basic precondition for alleviating poverty: human safety. In most poverty-stricken areas of the world, violence is endemic. Whether it is generated by criminals who operate with complete abandon or by the state itself via predatory police forces, violence and threat of it have locked hundreds of millions of people into poverty.

Gary Haugen and Victor Boutros's The Locust Effect focuses on the central role of violence in perpetuating poverty, and shows that if any headway is to be made, this issue has to become a top priority for policymakers. Simply put, if people aren't safe, nothing else matters."

Hello Readers,
here we are with the Mystery and Thrillers Book Suggestion for the month of December, 2015: The Boy in the Suitcase, by Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis.



Lene Kaaberbøl has sold more than two million books worldwide as a fantasy writer. Her collaborator, Agnete Friis, is a children s writer. The bestselling "Nina Borg" series has been translated into nine languages.

A New York Times Bestseller
The New York Times Book Review Notable Crime Book of 2011
Strand Magazine Critics Award Nominee
Harald Morgensen Award for Best Danish Thriller of the Year
Glass Key Crime Fiction Award Nominee

“Here’s something you don’t often see in Nordic noir fiction—a novel written by two women about the criminal mistreatment of women and children, compassionately told from a feminine perspective and featuring female characters you can believe in . . . the first collaborative effort of Lene Kaaberbøl and Agnete Friis, and it packs an almighty punch.”
—The New York Times Book Review, Notable Crime Book of 2011

“Terrific . . . What’s for sure is that, once you start reading, you can’t stop—it’s as if the poor kid’s life depends on your getting to the end as fast as possible . . . looks like another winning entry in the emotionally lacerating Scandinavian mystery sweepstakes.”
—The Washington Post

“Written in that sparse, uniquely Scandinavian style sure to draw comparisons with a certain blockbuster trilogy (this is better), this story packs plenty of emotional suspense and interpersonal friction without veering into melodrama.”
—Associated Press
