Book Club (BC)

Last night was our monthly Book Club meeting. . .which we bookclubers like to call BC. We met at Julia's on Queen Anne. We've been doing BC for almost 3 years now!!! We decided that instead of having it at someone's house each month, we'd pick a new restaurant to try out each month. It's great, not only do we get to read some interesting books but we get to try out some awesome restaurants and no one is left having to clean up afterwards. Last Christmas we even held our 1st Used Book Exchange. It's perfect and I look forward to it every month. . .a great group of gals. Meet the crew:

Molly-always has great things to add at BC and usually the group calculator for bill time
Annie-one of the newer BC members, had to be jumped in, she is the Group Socialite--usually doesn't read, but loves to meet for dinner and good convo!
Tanya-also a newer member jumped in with Annie. . .although she is doing much better at finishing the books than Annie
Laura-BC Secretary, always keeps track of everything in her little Book Journal and saves great quotes from each book
Kora-BC last minute car reader--usually finishes the book in the car before heading into the restaurant (also has a book journal for quotes)
Sara-usually gets stuck in traffic on her way to the restaurant, :( but we're always glad she can make it
Marcy-you can always count on a light hearted, somewhat romantic read from Marcy, which we tend to need here and again, and she always looks fab, dressed to the T
Marisa-The Hussey Lil Sis, newest member, doing great at finishing the books, not so great on making the meetings--she's gonna need to try a little harder or we'll jump her out of BC :)
Me-the BC follow up email sender outer (HA, do you like that name?) I always make sure everyone knows which book we are reading, when the next BC is and who is picking the next book/restaurant, I've also been known to get on tangents and turn BC into Dream Club (not allowed--oops)

I'm so jealous! But pretty sure since having 3 kids I have read about 3 books.

Hey Girl...
Thanks for the update of the BC...I'm in one too and I'm with Annie. I show up for the warm up discussion which is trashy magazines, I drink the wine and vote no for the next book selection. Always a good time though.
Miss you,
Lisa

I love it! I have to admit that my masters program ruined my interest in reading for fun. All I want to ever do is read smutty magazines and watch tv. I think someday I'll pick up a book again but I can say when. I'd love to comitt but if I'm gonna get "jumped in" I'm going to make it worth the pain, and your time. :) Someday...

I think the highlight of the last book club was when someone asked you "Kimberly, do you always carry a camera with you?" and you responded "Thats the life of a blogger!" I like your BC review blog better than mine! I'll have to work on that!
