SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME
SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME
Yesterday I attended my monthly book club meeting. There are only five of us and we're a close-knit group. Our meetings usually last for about three hours. Of that time we normally spend about fifteen to twenty minutes chatting about the book then we move on to discussing our lives and catching up with each other. All while sipping wine and eating dessert. It's a perfect melding of friendship, girl bonding, books and calories.

So many books so little time!
One of the things I love about book club is that it gets me to read books I wouldn't have otherwise discovered. If left to my own devices, I wouldn't read anything other than romances and mysteries and research books. Through my book club I've read so many books I'm sure I would have otherwise missed. Like Water for Elephants and The Help. My group knows I like happy endings in whatever I read, so when discussing what to read next, they'll often laugh and say, "Jacquie won't like that one." Which is code for: this is one of those depressing books. Which yeah, pretty much means I'll avoid it, LOL!
Are you in a book club? If so, what are some of the books you've read in it? What are you reading now? What's in your to-be-read pile? Got any recs for us?
