Attendees: Addie, Denise, Heather, Rhonda, and Tania (a new member!) with appearances by Raven, Cooper, and Crystal who brought us some cupcakes and will hopefully be joining the book club!
We discussed the book The Rules of Civility by Amor Towles. Denise, Rhonda, and Tania read the book and they all said that they really liked the book and have me sold on reading it in the future. The book takes place in the late 30s in New York and is about how these two women from the South try and get into High Society and their story of doing so. Denise really liked the way that the book was written and thought that there was a lot of alliteration in the book that she enjoyed reading. Everyone loved the description of that time period and what was going on. They all thought that it would make a great movie and Tania said that they are currently in works to sell the script to a studio. What the group found really interesting was that the book was written by a man because it is told from the point of view of a woman. They felt like the author did a really great job portraying the women in the book. There were some spoilers that were discussed, but luckily for me I don't remember all of them :)!
Incredibly, we (the ones that read it) discussed the book a lot! After the book discussion is where it got really interesting! I don't even know how it came about, but somehow we got on the topic of labia plastic surgery and how Cooper just did this for a lady. Then the talk ventured into boob jobs and what is the right amount of pubic hair for women to have these days. We talked about vacations that are coming up, running, and crocheting.
Once again we had some delicious cupcakes from Dreamy Creations and Crystal even brought a dozen more Milky Way cupcakes for us to try out. I'm not a chocolate fan, but I heard that they were pretty tasty!
Here are the details for the next meeting!
When: Tuesday 6/5/12 at 7pm
Where: Rhonda's House
What are we reading: 50 Shades of Grey by EL James So we hear that this book is like porno for women, so I'm sure that Rambo and Christopher will NOT want to read this. Plus, I think that there might be some others that are on the fence (this is the 1st book in the trilogy). If you do not want to read this book you can read Loving Frank by Nancy Horan
We hope to see many of you at the next one!
