Books 'n Booze

It’s been a while since our September book club… so here is what I remember:

We were going to go out but Matt and Sarah got schedules confused so we went to Sarah’s instead and ate pizza!!!
We all mostly […]

June book club and my (Des) half birthday! We were supposed to have a book club pool party, but Sarah needed to reschedule because she had some silly trip to Qatar. Geesh.

Since it was my half birthday and my […]

It was a quick turn around between February and March book club. We scheduled it early because one of us always ends up having to change the date… but this time that didn’t happen. Good thing Looking for Alaska […]

As we have done in the past, for December book club this year, we decided to do short stories/essays instead of a book. We also did our traditional dinner and gift exchange!

So, we started with dinner at […]

Sarah noticed this tweet from Counter Culture about an event at Busy Bee (sorry the image is small, I didn’t feel like fiddling to resize)

This month we relocated to Sarah’s house because she has a new […]

October!

This month Jen came over with some cheese dip thing and crackers. She made it extra-awesome by having it spew out of an apple’s mouth!

The entree was meatloaf with instant mashed potatoes. […]

Happy Salooniversary! It’s hard to believe we finished our 2nd year of book club together!

Because we wanted to celebrate on our actual anniversary, we had book club on a Saturday this time, which […]

This month I was going to choose a long book. Like, over 700 pages long. But then I looked at everyone’s faces when I mentioned that and decided that the end of the semester might not be a good time for a long […]

We squeezed in book club right at the end of the month. This is mostly my fault, since I was gone for 2 weeks. But we’re all busy ladies, so scheduling can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. The point is, we made […]

This month we did something different and each picked a short story! We also continued our tradition of going to Maggianos for dinner, but FIRST we opened our presents! It was all very festive and […]
