voting night
I’ve been a part of a book club for 3 years. The women in the group have met for 20 years and have obviously been pretty dedicated to reading and meeting on a monthly basis.
My sister invited me to join and it’s something I really enjoy. None of us socialize with one another (beside my sister and me!), but what brings us together is the love of reading. I think it’s pretty cool.
Anyway, last night we had our “voting night”. Everyone comes with book recommendations and we all very democratically decide on a list- I love this night! You would be amazed on how smoothly it goes…
The above books were my selections, although I was really pushing for Funny in Farsi and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. To my surprise, everyone wanted to read the latter book- I just had thought that most of them read ” A Tree” already. I am scheduled to lead the first discussion of the year and anticipate a great discussion…I LOVE THIS BOOK. How many of you read this novel by Betty Smith?
By the way, I plan to read Funny in Farsi during the month of December- I’ll check in with my review later (hopefully!). And I will post our reading list once I get it, I always love to know what people are reading and hopefully some of you will care too!
