		<description><![CDATA[Read Half-Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls with me!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Indigo has long been my favourite store. I mean seriously, the notebooks, the pretty wrapping paper, the boxes of thank-you cards, the baby gifts, the holiday accessories&#8230;what&#8217;s not to love? Oh yes, and the books. Obviously the books. Sometimes I sort of wish I lived in Indigo, and then I could actually just light the candles and use the handcreams and read every book whenever I wanted. But that would be weird.</p>
<p>You know what&#8217;s not weird? Reading books at home, on the couch, like a normal person.</p>
<p>Which is what I now get to do even more of, thanks to my favourite store ever, who just asked me to become an <strong>Indigo Book Club Ambassador.</strong></p>
<p>What it means is that I&#8217;m starting an online bookclub, right here on my blog and you can join!</p>
<p>Love to read but don&#8217;t have any friends who like the same books as you do?<br />
Live too far away from your friends to get together?<br />
Have seven kids that don&#8217;t let you out of the house for bookclub night?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how it works. Indigo sent me this package&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-738" title="Indigo 1" src="http://www.chantelsimmons.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Indigo-1-250x333.jpg" alt="Indigo 1" width="250" height="333" /></p>
<p>So cute, right? There are three books, a Petit Maison goat cheese baker and a Volupsa scented candle. And although you won&#8217;t be able to indulge in the warm goat cheese dish I&#8217;m going to bake and pretty candle I&#8217;ll be lighting while I read the book, you can do the same at home. And you can have a glass of wine if you want (I know I will be!) without worrying about driving home from the bookclub!</p>
<p>The first book I&#8217;ve chosen from the bunch to read is <em>Half-Broke Horses</em>. It&#8217;s the followup to Jeannette Walls&#8217;s memoir <em>The Glass Castle</em>. This time, she&#8217;s written a true-life novel written about her grandmother&#8217;s life, in the first person (as her grandmother).</p>
<p>Want to read with me? Pick up Half-Broke Horses and start reading, then check back here for my updates as I read the book, and discuss with me by leaving comments below along the way!</p>
