    Sarah wrote a new post, The One with All the Guests 4 years, 9 months ago

    Surprise!

    Why have regular book club when you can have PARTY book club?

    It’s all the elements of book club you love — food, alcohol, and discussions about book titles — with added people!

    For a limited […]

    Sarah wrote a new post, March Recap 5 years ago

    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 […]

    Sarah wrote a new post, The Story of Science — August Recap 5 years, 7 months ago

    It’s September. September 22nd, even. The last day of summer…

    And I’m writing the August recap.

    Here’s another factoid — I also just created the group space for August bookclub. That’s right — the group […]

    Sarah wrote a new post, Three Wishes – May Book Club 5 years, 11 months ago

    We read Three Wishes, the second book by author Liane Moriarty that our club has enjoyed. (First: What Alice Forgot.)

    Three Wishes received a warm thumbs-up, which was nice for me since I normally pick […]

    Sarah wrote a new post, Major Pettigrew's Last Stand 6 years, 1 month ago

    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 […]

    Sarah wrote a new post, The Storied Life of AJ Finkery—July Bookclub 6 years, 7 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.

    [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="473"] 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!

    Sarah wrote a new post, April Recap 6 years, 11 months 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 […]

    Ahh, September. The end of summer, the beginning of fall. Speaking of which, do you know the origin of the term “fall” as a season? It’s really more of a term in the US (and Canada), but it’s actually prettttty […]
