Shelves: 2011-books, chicklit, fiction

A true chicklit filled with heartwarming friendships between women and lovely cookie recipes. Even though I only awarded two stars, I enjoyed reading it. The reason that I found this book merely ok is because I did not feel the emotions of the characters. There are so many of them, it's difficult to create a mental picture for each of them (which I reckon is absolutely needed to be able relate to the characters).

However, it's a fun quick read and does get one in the christmas and baking spirit!...more

After reading this book I can't wait for next year and start a "Christmas Cookie Club". The parts I enjoyed most about the book were the recipes, the rules and idea of the club, and information between each chapter regarding ingredients used such as sugar, flour etc.

The parts I disliked most were the telling of each persons history, the narrator always got side tracked and started telling her story again. This is a non-Christian based book but yet when difficulty entered into someones life they...more

'The Christmas Cookie Club' by Ann Pearlman is a book I liked, but found lacking in some areas.

The parts I really enjoyed:
* Love the great recipes that head each chapter! I plan to make quite a few batches this holiday season.
* Marnie, the main character and head cookie bitch, came through really well. Very nicely characterized, she seems very real, rounded out, someone who would have a flock of friends in real life.
* I liked that the story showed problems and triumphs for each charater, and...more

This is possibly the perfect book club book.
Every year, on the first Monday in December twelve women get together to share cookies, recipes and stories. The past year has been very eventful for many of the members. Some express joy, others sadness, and one the terrible loss of a son. They listen, laugh and cry. Their bond strengthens each of the women as they get ready to move on to another year and look forward to another Cookie Club meeting.

The version I read was simply called, 'The Cookie Club' (interestingly, I think the addition of 'Christmas' to the title would have put me off buying it).

I found the deceiving little pink-covered gem at a book sale for $5 and expected an easy, jolly tale of cookies and cream. So I was surprised to find myself so invested in the intricate relationships of a group of friends, as revealed by the head "cookie be-atch" Marnie during the hosting of her annual Christmas Cookie Club.

Schon allein das Cover lädt den Leser ein, das bunte Buch zu öffnen und es sich, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes, schmecken zu lassen!
Ich hatte große Erwartungen an das Buch - und sie wurden sogar übertroffen!

Seit 16 Jahren treffen sich die 12 Cookie-Hexen jedes Jahr, immer am ersten Montag im Dezember, bei Marnie, der "Ur-Cookie-Hexe". Dort tauschen die Freundinnen ihre selbstgemachten und liebevoll verpackten Cookies untereinander aus, erzählen ihre Geschichte, was sie in dem letzten vergangenen Jahr erlebt haben, was sie bewegt hat. Sie essen, trinken, lachen, tanzen und weinen miteinander. Sie sind zwar das ganze Jahr über füreinander da, doch an diesem besonderen Abend treffen sie sich alle und genießen diesen Abend besonders. Denn hier müssen sie sich nicht verstellen, hier kann jede sie selbst sein.

Erzählt wird aus Marnies Sicht, sie hat den Cookie-Club gegründet und sie weiß alles über jedes einzelne Cookie-Mitglied. Deshalb erzählt sie die Geschichte von jeder einzelnen, die in diesem Jahr Mitglied des Clubs ist. Denn die Mitglieder gehen und kommen - doch der größte Teil ist seit Anfang dabei.

Viele der Frauen kennen sich schon seit Jugendzeiten, zusammen haben sie so vieles erlebt und haben so vieles durchgestanden. Ehen sind zerbrochen, Angehörige sind verstorben, es gab Streit, Neid, man bekam Kinder, schließlich Enkelkinder. Doch leider starb auch der eigene Sohn, die ungeborenen Enkelkinder.

Es gibt nicht nur schöne Erfahrungen im Leben, dass wissen die Freundinnen genau. Denn jede von ihnen musste schon eine oder mehrere Krisen bewältigen und von neu anfangen. Doch sie hatten immer sich. Jede von ihnen kann auf die Hilfe der anderen zählen und das ist ein sehr starker Rückhalt.

Die Autorin bringt die wahnsinnig starke Freundschaft der Frauen sehr gut rüber. Als Leser kann man sich wirklich in das Geschehen hineinversetzen, man ist selbst eine Cookie-Hexe, man lacht und weint mit ihnen, hörtt ihren Geschichten gebannt zu und spürt und schmeckt die verschiedenen, leckeren Plätzchen. Man sieht einfach alles in einem wundervollen Kopfkino vor sich.

Ich denke, das macht das Buch, zusätzlich zu der wirklich bewegenden Geschichte, so einzigartig - man wird selbst Protagonist des Romans.

"The Christmas Cookie-Club" ist ein Roman, der sich wirklich perfekt für die (Vor-)Weihnachtszeit eignet - am besten mit einem Stapel selbstgemachter Plätzchen neben sich.

While not a literary masterpiece, this book was an easy and entertaining read.
I liked the idea behind the book, a group of close friends (12) who meet every year before Christmas to exchange cookies. It seems idyllic to me, and quaint. I love the idea of having such a close group of friends like that, there for you, growing with you through the years.

I liked the idea of an annual cookie exchange with the same 12 friends. I liked the "rules" of the cookie club- reminded me of my book club. I loved that this book is based on a real Christmas Cookie club.
The story of all the women in this club inspired me to write a similar story about 12 of my closest friends(not that I will). I thought it was neat how their lives intertwined. I underlined some parts that I really enjoyed. Copying below...
" I met each of them on my own journey: in high school, as a hippie, as a young mother, as a divorcee, as a single mother, in the business world, with one man or another. Sometimes, when I think of my life, I think of the girl who met Juliet and the hippie who met Vera and the struggling woman who met Charlene and the business woman who met Allie. It's hard to put the different stages together as part of one woman's life."

" I can't get my mind around the different versions of me. And yet the adaptations of me through the decades are still a part of my current life. It is as though my friends give testimony to my history. Witnesses when we are all together, to my whole existence."

" I have a picture of their feet after they all got a pedicure"----- LOVE THIS!!! WANT TO DO IT!!!

" I learned to not assume anything.I learned to fill my life up and try to live in the moment. I also learned that anyone could vanish at anytime. And thought that that love was useless if it wasn't foreverand knew that nothing is forever except for your children. And your girlfriends. See Tracy is still in my life. And Juliet."

"People in the kitchen together cooking together." Almost as much fun as people eating together. Almost right up there with sex."

LOVE the Acknowledgments page....

The event is the annual Christmas Cookie party where twelve women exchange cookies and donate some for charity. Each cookie delivery comes with a story, a recipe and a few historical facts about the ingredients. The host of the event is Marnie, who started the club, created the rules and has had a complex life herself.

Even though each chapter is supposed to be about the woman presenting the cookies, it isn't since we hear the story through Marnie's ears and are privy to her thoughts. So basically Marnie goes on tangents, as we all do from time to time, when a word or a phrase reminds her of another event. This is a short novel which in turn is divided into twelve short stories. There are many characters but I didn't get vested in any of them and the narration is mainly done by Marnie. We find out about the ups and downs of the lives of these women, with some insightful comments which get lost somewhere in the narration.

I found this book a bit convoluted, but not hard to read. The many characters were not easy to keep track of, especially since their spouses, parents and children were all part of the interwoven story. I have to admit that the characters are personable and likeable (mostly) and each story is delivered passionately but due to the circumstances, where each woman has a tragic occurrence or a secret, the uber-drama seems to take over from time to time.
For me, melodrama only works if I can make and emotional connection with the character, but because Ann Perlman was trying to keep the book to a reasonable size (or even short) the depth and exploration of character wasn't there.

At the beginning of every chapter there is a cookie recipe and at the end Ms. Pearlman wrote a short history of some ingredient (chocolate, salt, etc.). I think that the recipes and the historical information were certainly a nice touch, if you don't like it then skip over them since they are in between chapters. I don't know why people complain about them taking away from the story since they are not part of the story in the first place - nor do they add any insights or information - they are "extras" and should be treated as such. Maybe if they were included as appendices less people would have complained but as I said, I thought it was properly done and a nice touch.

Please keep in mind, that as a man, chick-lit usually doesn't speak to me.
For example I find it ridiculous that one moment everyone is in tears and the next a "dance party" breaks out.
Does this really happen?
Do women really dance around the kitchen table like they are in some kind of Nora Ephron movie?

If this really happens, good for you and more power.

The Christmas Cookie Club is exactly the kind of Christmas story I was looking for. One I could follow along with even if I read a little here and there, something light that I could read surrounded by children and a puppy and something other than a romance story (which most Christmas books seem to have.) Although there is talk about love in this book, it's not the focus.

I found this book to be super depressing. It seemed like each of the women were going through some truly horrible things, some in the midst, some in the recent past, and some are just stalled, stuck in a bad place.

But the redeeming factor is the friendship. I loved how when each one passed out their cookie they had to tell a story. It usually dealt with the bad thing they were working through and through the telling of the story it seemed to lighten their load.

I had thought (and again, this can be attributed to my selecting reasoning) that this would run along the same vein as The Chocolate Lovers Club by Carole Matthews (which I adored, by the way!), but I must say the books are starkly contrasting.

The Christmas Cookie Club sound like a excellent idea, btw. I can imagine cookie clubs popping out. But enough about food...

I've expected a light book and book about Christmas. This is neither. There is something therapeutic about this novel...Maybe it has something to do with author’s profession. It's about death as much about as life. It shifts between funny and tragic, between happy and sad moments. Some themes you'll encounter:
-How to deal with the death of a loved one,
- How to deal with the cheating and the lying of your loved ones (and yourself),
- How to deal with financial problems and other struggles in life,
- How to deal with your insecurities....

I would describe this as a novel about women friendship. The narrator is the chief of the cookie club, the ones who tells all the stories (I have to wonder...How come she is the only one who knows them all?) There are a lot of digressions, really a lot. I normally don't mind them but as they happen as the new characters are introduced it can be confusing...
It is not that I think twelve characters are too much. I've read book with much more characters and did not get confused. I think the part of the problem are dialogues that lack in life. All the characters seem the same in dialogues, filled with the same kind of witty remarks and sudden emotive love talk. The life stories of all the characters are great, there is attention paid to details. However, their voice is missing. In a book like this it is really important that all the women have a voice. How are you to distinguish them otherwise between all that information about food and infinite digressions?

It must be hard, writing about such relaxed moments as a casual evening with friends. I actually think that it is more difficult to write about an evening filled with love than with hate. To conclude, great ideas, great story...characterization? Unfortunately the characterization is definitely lacking in this novel. Nevertheless, I've liked it. It’s a nice mix of serious and funny.
