I helped start up a book club with a bunch of gal pals. It's been about 5 months and I LOVE it.
I love these women.
I love the food.
I love the conversations.
I love going to a different house every month, and enjoying a cozy night "out" in home of a friend.
I love that we don't all have the same personality or all in the same stages of life.
I love the books.
June- The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
July- The Host and The Short Life ofBrea Tanner by Stephanie Meyer
August- City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (this one was not my fave...I'm kinda over the vampire genre, but a lot of the other women really enjoyed it and went on to finish the series.)
September- Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins
October- The Help by Kathryn Stockett
I'm already looking forward to reading:
November- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
December- Skipping Christmas by John Grisham
January- These is My Words by Nancy Turner
February-The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
I'm grateful for the simple and good things that bring joy to my life, and for the awesome ladies that I get to share a really fun evening (and morning, since we talked until 1:30am, last time) "out" with, every month.

Me, too! I love how the group has a different personality each month with a different mix of people. I also love that we are reading different genres, which is helping me expand my horizons. And staying up WAY too late once a month wouldn't kill anybody...SO worth the fun, in my opinion. And I'm going to bed early tonight to make up!
Sure guys rub it in again. J/K I am looking forward to going to the other nights and reading the books too. Brian told me he will try really hard next month to be home earlier. I have Skipping Christmas and The Memory Keeper's Daughter if you guys want to borrow the books. I need to find the other two books to read but, I am excited to read them.
@ Katie - We're moving it to Thursday nights! :O
We missed you. I kept expecting you to knock on the door at any moment.
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn is one of my favorites, which I read for a book club, too. Couldn't believe I'd gone through jr high, high school, and college with out reading it!
