My Book Club

Annual Book Club Dinner

Last night was our annual book club dinner.  Our book club has been together for over 15 years now and it is so much fun to get together and enjoy the upcoming holidays together.  In the beginning we would have the holiday book club meeting at a member's home, but we soon learned that the added stress of hosting another party during the holidays was too much.  Now we go to a restaurant and do a book exchange.  Out of those books we choose at least January's book.  This year we chose the first three books of the year.


Our upcoming books for the new year....drum roll please....


January:  Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
February:  Honolulu - Alan Brennert
Wednesday:  Tell the Wolves I'm Home - Carol Rifka Brunt


I would have to say that this was one of our worst years for books.  There were not any horrible picks but there were not any outstanding ones either.

>> Tigers Wife
>> The Girl Who Fell From The Sky
>> Crashing Through
>> On Chesil Beach
>> My Name Is Memory
>> The Story of Beautiful Girl
>> Nightwoods
>> The Marriage Plot

My favorite of the bunch we have to be the Marriage Plot, by Jeffery Eugenides.  Great characters, great story.

We had a great dinner at Cafe Cruz.  We ended up staying for over three hours.  I am so lucky to be a part of a great group of women.
