Attendees: Heather, Lisa, Michelle, Raven, Rhonda, Tania, and Tina.
This book club had me laughing pretty hard with all of the hilarious stories that were told! We learned all about Rhonda's baking experiences at Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, MI and it sounded like it was a ton of fun. We talked about Rhonda's occasional vision problems :) Along with her not remembering people's names, which brought up some really funny stories from other people about being mistaken in certain situations. Tina told us a hilarious story about Paige and flying. I think that the funniest story to me was Rhonda's mom mistaking a water fountain for a check-in kiosk at a car rental place!
The book that we discussed this time was Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. I think that the overall consensus was that we didn't like the book. It didn't seem like we hated it though. We were curious to know how the series ended and Michelle let us know a little about it. I honestly don't remember a lot about what we talked about with this book because the other funny stuff we talked about is what I remember. I know that we discussed who we thought should or would play the part of Christian Grey. There was this funny skit from SNL that I mentioned. I think that we thought that Anastasia was a bit unbelievable and I know that I didn't care for her character at all.
Only Rhonda read Loving Frank by Nancy Horan and she said that it was interesting learning about Frank Lloyd Wright. She said that the end was a shocker and I won't ruin it for anyone that wants to read it.
Here are the details for the next book club:
When: Tuesday July 10th at 7pm
Where: Rhonda's House
What we are reading: Wild by Cheryl Strayed
We hope that some of our absent members can make it to the next book club. The food, company, and conversations are always pleasurable. Plus, Rhonda usually has some delicious mini cupcakes for us! Rhonda is quite the treasure!

p.s. Lisa Kaseff, we were thinking that maybe an August or September book club could be hosted at your place on the weekend during the day? Let Rhonda or myself know :)
