My New Book Club

Below is the email that I sent out the my fellow book clubers. I wanted to post it so that if people want to join or just follow along with our books they would know what was going on. If you live in the Olympia area and want to be part of the book club let me know :).



Hello Ladies!!! The first book club meeting was a very fun event and we were very sad to miss, both, Tracie and Kristina. Out of the four who were able to meet, two had finished the book and two were not quite there yet J. I won’t name names about who finished and who didn’t, but Lauren and I thought that the ending of the book was very surprising and sad!!! We all had a wonderful time and were able to work out some of the details that would be essential to making the book club run smoothly. Gina was given the quote of the night award with, “we just want to spank some ass.”

We thought it would be best to set up a regular date and time so that our meetings will be on your calendar throughout the year. We decided the last Wednesday of each month would be a good day to meet on, at 6:30 pm, making our next meeting May 27th at 6:30. We will be meeting at Marie’s house (will send address and directions later).

Book choices will rotate throughout the group, each month one person will bring at least three choices for our next book and no more than four. The person who brings the book choices will choose the place that we meet. It can be a restaurant or at your residence…whichever you prefer. The book choice rotation is as follows:

Marisa (I brought choices last night)
Marie (bringing choices to the next meeting)
Gina
Lauren
Tracie
Kristina

If you have friends that you want to invite feel free to do so and we will add them to the bottom of the rotation.

Okay, now the important part….drum roll if you please…the next book selection is “The Necklace” by Cheryl Jarvis. I hope everyone enjoys reading it and will be able to make it to the next meeting for food, fun, alcohol, and chit chat!!!!

Kora, you are hilarious!! Actually, in book club we were discussing the option of a "pearl" necklace but I didn't think that would be appropriate to add to the blog!!
