Books are Better When You Share Them
Recently, my friend started a book club and invited me to join her. We have similar interest in books and I was excited to have someone motivate me to start reading. We picked a book, set a date, and started reading. Needless to say, we loved our book so much that not only did we finish it in record time before our meeting, we finished the whole series!
We decided to meet for pedicures to get pampered on our “date” to discuss our book. It was an amazing afternoon. We just talked about our opinions and realized at the end of our time we hadn’t mentioned our kids once. Of course we love our kids, but sometimes mommies need a break.
I would encourage everyone to start or join a book club. There are online book clubs, but I think the benefits of sharing time with someone better manifest if you are face to face.
Our book club is very informal. We are just choosing a book and a time to get together to discuss it. Your club can be whatever you want it to be. Here are a few resources about starting a book club that I found online. (Of course I had to include Oprah)
Happy Reading!
Are you in a book club? Do you have any recommendations for making our little book club successful?
