the glass castle. {book club}

Another book under our belts meant another get together!  A few saturdays back, I, once again, had the privilege of meeting with these ladies to have our book club *glee*.  I love being part of a book club...hearing the opinions/thoughts/discussions of everyone and really, who doesn't love getting a group of gals together to eat and chat?!

So many things to cover from this memoir, I'm glad we had a mini-brunch to keep us going.  The charming late guest (Juju) happened to like all of the excitement (aka-attention & food!) too!

If you're looking for a true story that gives a very diversified perspective/experience of life compared to any typical 1960s child ... you'll need to add this one to your list.

the woman in white. {book club}

I've always wanted to be part of a book club (I'm a total nerd, yes, I know)!  And not having finished a lot of books since Judah was born, I thought being part of a book club was the perfect solution.

We met Monday night for dinner, dessert, tea & tremendous discussion over the enrapturing classic - The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins.  Company with these ladies (dressed all in white, I might add) was food for the soul...and a good way for me to read the book to it's entirety!  It was what I always thought a perfect book club would be - sharing the love of reading with food and some hearty laughs.  Can't wait for our next one!
