Book Club

It's hard to believe that it's been a year-and-a-half since a few ladies at the yacht club decided to start up a book club.   Last night, we discussed our 15th book; Water for Elephants.  This books was a big hit with all the ladies in attendance.  In addition to cracker jacks and sasparillas, our "hostess" treated us to the most delicious little burgers; one topped with blue cheese and mushrooms, the other with goat cheese and sweet peppers.  Excellent! 

This book club brings me many positive experiences.

• Commitment to reading one book each month
• Reading books that I otherwise would not choose
• Discussing the books; not always agreeing but feeling free to speak candidly without being judged
• Getting to know the other ladies through our discussions, often inspiring and intimate conversations where we have shared joys and sorrows.
• Belonging to a group where we all have something in common; reading.
• The opportunity of meeting published recognized authors
• Excellent samples of food that often tie in with the book.

And not to forget...lots and lots of laughter...
