Last Spring I was lucky enough to fall into an invitation to join a book club. I have been in book clubs in the past and I have loved every single one, even the clubs that were thinly veiled excuses to drink wine with friends. Or maybe especially those. This particular book club however, includes a teacher, two journalists, and several writers. It’s legit. On top of that, each host prepares food and beverages to match the theme of the book. And on top of THAT, hosts come to the meeting with prepared questions, observations and discussion guides. This book club does not mess around. So all this is to say that the first week in December, we will be meeting to discuss my very first book selection. So much pressure! So what I need from you bookworms, is your suggestions for my debut book pick. What has knocked your nerdy socks off this year?
Of these books, the other books that we are reading this year, The Goldfinch and The Song of the Lark have been my favorite reads.
