Book Club Recap July

Hello everyone!

So I've been busy busy busy and haven't had time to get around to this.  I'm going to do a short recap, so I apologize if you wanted to know more (next time you should just come to book club!).

Attendees:  Addie, Denise, Heather, Lisa I., Rambo, Raven, Rhonda, and Valesca

We had book club at Denise and Rambo's house and they made a lot of yummy food!

Most of us liked the book.  Many people thought that Cheryl was a little annoying and not telling the whole truth or embellishing a bit with the book (since it did happen so long ago).  The group was in agreement that Cheryl's family was a bit dysfunctional.  Some liked the relationship of her and her mom and some didn't.  Some of us want to do the PCT, but I know that I would only be up for some day to three day trips.  I actually talked to my friend who did a portion up here in Northern CA and she really liked it.  I do plan on making it out to the trail sometime this week since I am so close to it.  I also will be having ice-cream in Sierra City (one of the places she talks about in the book).  We all agreed that she was not at all prepared for what she was getting into and it was kind of funny how much she overpacked and how heavy her bag was even after the purging.

There was talk about doing group hikes and Valesca suggested that we hike Mt. Kilimanjaro.  It sounded interesting and fun, but I'm not much of a hiker :)

We were trying to decide on a book to read for the next meeting and we were having a tough time so Valesca and Rambo went on a web search for a book to read.  The one that they found was Skippy Dies by Paul Murray. It is supposed to be one of the best books written and it was selected for many awards. Since we all seem to be super busy in August and this book is a little on the long side we decided to have book club the first Tuesday in September.

Here are the details:

When: Tuesday September 4th at 7pm
Where: Rhonda's house
What we are reading: Skippy Dies by Paul Murray
