A couple of weeks back, one of my favorite comadres decided to put together a book club, and I jumped at the chance to get back into reading again. I am so glad I did! Patty has knack for organizing (yes, she's a teacher too!) chapters and set our goals for us to read Dancing with Butterflies. 
I ordered my book through Amazon and stalked the mailman for a week. I received the book two days before the first four paced chapters were due!! We maintained a group/chat on Facebook to discuss what we were reading character by character or problem to problem. I hit that fourth chapter mark just in time, but didn't hesitate to read right through to the end before chapter 5,6,& 7 were due the following Friday.
Needless to say, Reyna Grande's story left me wanting to follow the characters more and more. (I love a book that has that kind of lasting impression!) I quickly picked up her other book (her first published piece) Across a Hundred Mountains. I finished it in a 48 hour period flat. Loved it even more!! Now I await her memoir.

So, last evening Las Comadres met up at Patty's house, and the conversations flowed; envisioning the characters and their struggles...
Patty, thank you for bringing us all together for this wonderful evening! (And thanks to Yesica for helping me the photography!)
We will be back in September with a new book read!
