August-September Selection
The August-September selections is the garden mystery A Hoe Lot of Trouble: A Nina Quinn Mystery by Heather Webber, but as usual, there are other ways to participate if you don’t want to read this particular book.
You can choose to read another garden mystery book. There are several different garden mystery series available, including the Nina Quinn series by Heather Webber, the China Bayles series by Susan Wittig Albert, Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters, the Abby Knight series by Kate Collins, the Louise Eldridge series by Ann Ripley to name a few. If you don’t see your favorite garden mystery listed here, let me know and we’ll get it added to the list.
Or if you don’t want to read any other garden mystery, you can participate by telling us about a real life mystery in your own garden.
The virtual meeting post for August-September will be published on September 30th. Just let me know when you’ve posted your review and I’ll make sure you are included on the virtual meeting post. Remember, I list the reviews in the order I hear about them! Be early, be at least second, as we already have one review posted.
October Selection
No selection has been made for October, so send me your ideas. I try to select books that have universal appeal to gardeners, are easy to get either at the library or second-hand via Amazon and other outlets and aren’t terribly long. Other than that, anything goes! Send me an email or leave me a comment with your ideas.
Thank you!
I appreciate everyone who has participated in the book club in the past and look forward to YOUR participation whether you are a first time contributor or have joined for each book. Thank you for your participation.
If you haven’t heard about the book club or haven’t paid much attention to it and want to participate, you can go the Garden Bloggers Book Club blog for links to all the previous posts of meetings and updates to get an idea of what it is about. All are welcome to participate!
A Hoe Lot of Trouble seems like it’s right up your alley.
Enjoy.

I am reading A Hoe Lot of Trouble and can hardly put it down. Thanks. Sara from farmingfriends
Chigiy… Thanks, I am enjoying this book.
Vegven… Thank you for the nice comment and visit to my blog.
Layanee… Yes, the winning powerball ticket was sold in Indiana, in Richmond, right by the state line, so we aren’t sure if a Hoosier or a Buckeye or someone just passing through on the highway bought the winning ticket. I just know I didn’t win.
Sara from Farmingfriends… I am happy to hear you like the book. I’m looking forward to your review of it. Let me know when you’ve posted it so I can include you in the book club meeting post on September 30th.
Thanks for the comments!

I couldn’t find a copy of this month’s selection but did get Digging up Trouble by the same author. It was a great read and I’ll post about it at my blog over the weekend.
I have posted a blurb about Digging Up Trouble by Heather Webber at my blog.
