Last night was the first book club meeting of this new book club! New State, New House, New People, New Books!!!!! NEW BOOK CLUB!!! I am just a little excited (and overwhelmed) by the amount of interest my suggesting a neighborhood book club has brought. We had 15 ladies here last night and several who couldn't make it this month but want to join us! I am thrilled to know I am surrounded by so many book lovers! So many new friends to meet and learn from- I was so excited I didn't really get much sleep last night, but that is ok, book people are worth a few missed hours of rest. So, here is the plan we came up with last night for our book club:
We will meet on the second Wednesday of each month (minus December) at 7:00pm. We will rotate who's home we will be meeting at. You can sign up to host- which means: you provide the home for us to meet in, choose the book, lead the discussion of the book, and provide a little snack if you so desire. Easy Peasy. This is not a strict book club. You are welcome to come if you didn't read the book. You are welcome to come when you can and we won't throw you out if miss it or hate the book. In fact, if you don't like the book PLEASE come- it makes for a much more interesting discussion. No hurt feelings allowed. We all like different things and have different opinions- that is what makes us each so great! So come, participate as much as you are comfortable with, eat or don't eat, share or just listen, and be part of our group!
I will post on here a continuing update of books suggested by our members and info for upcoming events. Check back to see what we are up to or to find a good book to read.
Our next meeting will be on Wednesday, October 10th at 7:00pm at Amy B.'s home. We will be reading The Lions of Little Rock by Kristin Levine. This book was not available to us through the book buzz program but the Davis County Library has 7 copies, Amy has 2, Libby by Overdrive as 1 audiobook, Audible has it as an audiobook, Weber County has 3 books, 1 ebook, and 1 electronic audiobook (Davis County Residence can get Weber county library cards!!!) If we start reading now, we can pass the copies around so everyone gets a chance to read it by October 10th!
