Bad Guys Book Club: The One and Only Ivan and the Notebook of Doom

It was the Willardson turn to host Bad Guys Book Club tonight. In preparation to discuss The One and Only Ivan, Soren and I thought it would be cute to pin up some beach towels like circus tent. We were baking banana bread when Aaron walked in and exclaimed, “what? What is this? Curtains? There are no decorations at the Bad Guys Book Club!”  He sounded just like Tom Hanks in A League of their Own, “are you crying?! There’s no crying in baseball!” 😂😂😂 

Aaron went on to boast that bad guy book club does not need baked goods or fancy decor, because “we drink canned soda and eat s’mores and microwave popcorn at bad guys book club!”  

Soren and I pointed out that it’s the little details like this that set apart just how much FUN we are. The curtains and banana bread were perfect additions to the canned soda, s’mores, and popcorn. 

Soren also showed his most recent book report on the Notebook of Doom number 6, complete with a clay crustacean and a bubble wrap mummy. He glued the paper report to the inside lid after I took this pic. It’s pretty cute.  He did a great job. 


Here are some of tonight’s Bad Guys attendees (with their mandatory sodas).
