Friday Night Book Club


 Since, I have had kids it's hard for me to finish a book. I start a book but never finish. Rachel asked E and I if we would be interested in a book club. Of course, I jumped on it. Now, I actually will have to finish a book!
Last night was our first book club. Rachel hosted the first one. We are meeting once a quarter. There are six girls, my sisters and three of our friends. We read the book by Maya Angelou, Letter to My Daughter. I thought the book was ok. Don't get me wrong, I like Maya Angelou. This book was short stories about her life experiences. It was an easy read.
The best part of the book club was getting together with the other ladies, just discussing life, kids, growing up, etc, etc. Of course, there was great food and wine. We did not leave Rachel's until after 10:30pm, way past my bedtime. 
We did not decide on another book for next time we meet. We are suppose to make suggestions in the next week. So, if you have read any good books lately please let me  know.
Have a great weekend!

First of all, love your new background. :)

I told Rachel that I'm getting a kick out of these things that we all still have in common...love to cook (and eat!) and books. Very fun. It looks like you gals had a great time. I'll have to think back on the books I've read over the last year or so and see if any are worth suggesting for possibilities for you guys...an all time fave is "Kite Runner" but many of you have maybe already read that...
