About Me

Hi Fellow Readers!

My name is Caryn Jensen Stapp.  I live about twenty miles outside the great city of Sacramento, CA. 

My husband Curtis and I have four children.  We love finding and discussing books. 
Our favorite date is hanging out at the book store and eating at a local salad joint called Pluto's.

I started a successful book group (Girl Meets Book) many years ago.  I have attempted over the years to find a source of clean books. To no avail. So, I decided what fun it would be to start a cool online book group to encourage reading from the best books. So here are some of the hidden gems I've dug up.

What is my criteria on choosing books?  
1.  Follow the guidelines stated here!
2.  A mix of classic, spiritual, historical, humor, etc. (for a well rounded you!)
3.  I try to pick paperback as not to break the bank.
4.  Nothing way popular--Harry Potter, you all know about him. 
5.  Strong characters--Twilight, main character doesn't seem to have a backbone.
6.  Last of all, is it a book I can't wait to curl up with when the kids are tucked into bed.
