Just wanted to let you all know what we'll be reading for February in the A Beautiful Mess Book Club. Be sure to pick up or check out your copy of Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. I've had this book recommended a few times to me this past year and I thought it might be a perfect pick for February. I've also heard that it's a rather fast read, so if you've been on the fence about joining in the book club because you think you're too busy to read a book, well, this might be the perfect month for you. 🙂
And don't forget, we'll be discussing Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil with Joy Wilson on January 31st. xo. Emma
P.S. Can you tell from this photo what my current favorite snacks are?

Hi Krista! Sure! All you have to do is join in on the discussion at the end of the month. 🙂 -Jacki
This is a fantastic book! You’ll love it!! Looking forward to Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil with Joy Wilson on January 31st!

I hope I can join 🙂
I read this over the holidays and loved it!!
I really want to read it!

Yes! I already have my name on the waiting list for this one at my library! Just finished Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Can’t wait to discuss!
aw i just found the book club and wanted to participate in the next book, but i JUST read E&P – absolutely loved it by the way. Hopefully I can participate in March.
I have always wanted to read this book. Busy me tends to snooze the moment I get into my room. Oooh I need and want to read it. Thanks for the reminder guys! I’m hoping to jump in on the discussions next month.:)

I have been very interested in this book and now I have a great reason to read it! I’m in another blogger book club reading ‘Wild’ by Cheryl Strayed. Once I finish up that one I’ll pick up this one. So excited! xo *erica* http://www.lookingtothestars.com
I read that book back in November and it is so and totally not what I was expecting.

Oh my goodness this book. It was my favorite book from last year. There are not words for just how sweet a book it is!
I read this book last year and absolutely loved it. I might have to read it again! 🙂

I loved this book! I think it’s going to be a big hit for Book Club. 🙂
I really wanna read this book! Looks amazing! Sofie xx
I judge a book by its cover. I’m sorry. But this looks amazing. I read a review by John Green and I am always so afraid to read books like this because love stories really get to me. I haven’t even read The Fault In Our Stars! But I may give it a chance. 🙂

If I didn’t have to work so much, I would definitely take part in one of these, but I am noting the title, and will try to read this book on my own time in any case 😉

I cannot wait for this discussion. I loved this book!
What a great photo idea: the snacks you eat while reading the book. Very creative… and aesthetically pleasing.

When I scrolled down and saw that February was going to be Eleanor and Park I got so excited. I LOVEEEE THIS BOOK And you will too! I read it in a day I couldn’t put it down 🙂 I can’t wait for the discussion
I absolutely adored this book when I read it. I remember not being able to put it down. I seriously adore Rainbow Rowell’s writing!
How exciting! I’ll join you guys this month. 🙂
I don’t know what this book is about, or if is a romance, a drama or a biography.
Reading the comments I don’t know what expect either. Most of people loved the book, but some don’t look so sure about it.
As a suggestion, maybe you guys can write the synopses of the book of the month in the end of next posts. This way we can know a little bit about it 😉
Unless people prefer the surprise. Who knows?

I’m doing a reading challenge in 2015 and I think this one is going to be my “book everyone has read but you”!
Great choice again Emma, love that this feature is continuing this year!
OMG! My book club picked this book for February too!! Awe.some.
I read this over the holiday break and couldn’t put it down! I wasn’t what I expected at all. Great book for Feb!
I can’t wait to hear what you think of this one, I have such mixed feelings about this book!
This is such a good book!!! Can’t wait to read the discussions! 🙂
perfect timing! Im going away next week and was wondering what book I will be taking with me. Looking forward to joining the discussion next month 🙂
Hey! How do we join the conversation on January 31st? And when exactly is it ?
Such a sweet book. I read it in the fall but I’ll definitely join in the discussions later!
My discussion suggestion: What song would you put on a mix tape for Eleanor?
i love that you guys do this book club…i keep seeing this in the book store but haven’t picked it up yet! it’s great seeing what you guys are reading even if i’m not sure i’ll have time to read it for the end of the month discussion.

The audiobook version of this made me swoon in my car and recall the feeling of my first love. I super recommend listening to it 🙂
I’m loving how often Emma’s voice is appearing on the blog in 2015!
Ahhh I absolutely LOVED Eleanor & Park. It’s definitely one of my favourite ‘light-reads’ 🙂 I’ll be sure to reread it and join in on the discussion! X

I read this a couple months ago, it’s maybe a little too YA but still a sweet story.

I’m so excited I’ve been wanting to read this book forever now I have an excuse to do so!
This one i have read in one day. It’s absolutely Great. I loved, loved, loved.
Oh my gosh, this is the first time you’ve done book club for a book I just happen to be currently reading! What a lucky coincidence for me 😀 I meant to read this book a loooong time ago, but it was always checked out of all the libraries I went to: my high school library, my college library, the public library. I’m already a few chapters in and I wish I didn’t have to put it down! -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
I would love to be a part of this book club. Buying the book now. Do you know when the discussion will be? Will it be on twitter?
