BOOK CLUB!
So I have started a book club in my neighborhood for the first time in my life and super excited about it. I cannot understand why it has taken me so long. So a couple of months ago, I was asked to speak to a book club in a neighboring city since my book Second Survivor had been chosen for their monthly read. When I arrived, I was met with the nicest, most generous women and I decided to emulate my first book club after them. Since they had been together for a couple of years, it was obvious to me they had become quite close. What was fascinating was that the members came from all different backgrounds ranging in age from twenties to seventies and all seemed to truly value one another…this is exactly what I am aiming for. When they showed me a list of their previous reads, I was amazed at the diversity of genres and the fact that they were so open to reading different types of books. I left after a couple of hours feeling honored for being a temporary member of this amazing group.
Today, the woman who is responsible for our first month’s book chose Jane Eyre which I was totally thrilled about. I have not read it for at least two decades and I am thrilled to meet next month to talk about it. I hope if you love reading, you will find a book club to join and not only be exposed to new novels or genres but lifelong friendships as well!
Happy August!
