It’s all the elements of book club you love — food, alcohol, and discussions about book titles — with added people!
For a limited […]

We read Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore and that book glows in the dark.
That’s literally all I remember because I am the worst. According to our calendar it was on March 29, so there’s that.
I actually d […]

Des wrote a new post, Looking for Alaska- March 2015 7 years, 1 month ago
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 […]

Can I get a pass on this one, because (1) book club was less than two weeks ago, so I haven’t had NEARLY the amount of procrastination time I’m supposed to, and (2) I was supposed to have time to write this today […]

Des wrote a new post, December book club- Essays and holidays! 7 years, 3 months ago
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 wrote a new post, The Storied Life of AJ Finkery—July Bookclub 7 years, 9 months ago
It’s the day before book club and the recap post for the previous month is just now going up… bet you can guess who’s writing it.

This guy. (Well, this girl.)[/caption]
Thanks for the reminder, Des. I try to pretend I’ve got it together, but I appreciate that it may be hard to be my friend sometimes…
Anyway! On with the belated recap.
Our last book club was held on July 22nd.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500"]
Thank you Google Calendar.[/caption]
I either cooked a crock pot or casserole, because those are the only things that new moms cook, apparently.
We started talking about the book…
…The Storied Life of AJ Finkery. We all agreed it was pretty good. We also got some short story ideas for December, if we do the short story thing again, since it referenced a bunch of those.
It was also fun reading a book about a book store. Kind of like book porn for book lovers…
We talked about current events for a while, but not for too long, because Jen is the only one that posted. Poor Jen…
Our favorites from the Current Events section included: (1) “If Google was a Guy”…
and (2) the awesome tiny girl gymnast.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="635"]
How is that even real.[/caption]
It was a short book club overall. After chatting, we enjoyed some ice cream that Jen brought over.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="900"]
ICE CREAMMMMMMM[/caption]
then we called it a night pretty early, which was convenient because Jen could go spend time with her beau for their 6-month anniversary.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500"]
but seriously, congrats Cam and Jen :)[/caption]
Anyway, at this point in my recap, I normally promise to do better. Like, maybe I’ll be less awful and post current events before next book club! But since next book club is tomorrow…
I just hope that everyone knows, despite my attempts to demonstrate otherwise through my embarrassingly awful book club recaps, I do love book club, the chance to hang out with my friends, and the different books we read.
Until next time!

May’s book club started with Jen’s dips and pita chips. She also brought some sort of cheese thing that my cat Sophie really liked. I made beef stew for dinner and we had ice cream for dessert.
Everyone seemed […]

Sarah wrote a new post, April Recap 8 years ago
Well, apparently I’m competitive, because when Jen double-dog dared someone in her last post to beat her 20-minutes-prior publish record, I tried to do just that.
Okay, that’s a lie. I didn’t really try. I […]
