We discussed the book Crossing To Safety by Wallace Stegner
First, Tina actually read the book and there were many others that didn't! Way to go Tina! We all liked the book and thought that it was a very nice and sweet book. We liked how the book was all about their friendship and how there was no marital drama, like cheating. We thought that all of the characters were likable and we enjoyed reading their friendship develop through the years. It was also interesting to see how times have changed and how back in the 3Os it was okay to to get drunk while pregnant. The book was easy to read and very enjoyable. We also discussed how Charity wanted to die alone at the end and we discussed how many people like/want to die alone. The book wasn't long and it wasn't a hard read at all if you want to still read it.
Onto the good stuff! Well, I think that the thing that I remember the most is scissoring! The best part was that Cooper knew what it was and all of us did not. Google it to see what we are talking about. Michelle said that this was brought up in an episode of Glee, which is crazy! We talked about Alissa's mom and we all hope that she is doing better and that she gets moved up to the Valley. We talked about Rhonda's Uncle, sorry to hear about him again. We talked about me moving. Not sure where, but I think it will happen :(. We talked about pot and edibles that have THC. Then at the end we all took the Dialect Quiz to see what cities our dialects are "from." Some of the LA natives didn't get LA!
Next month we are switching it up a bit! Lisa will be hosting next month's book club.
Here are the details:
When: Wednesday March 19th at 7pm

So we met at Lias's for what was Heathers final book club in person. Although she will still be meeting with us via Skype in the future we will sorely miss her presence. Personally, I say wah wah as she has been a dear and beloved friend for the last 13+ years. Anyway, on t the recap of last book club. It was lovely to be at Lisa's house because she is a great entertainer. Good food, good wine, and naturally, good company. Her dog Lucy is off the charts cute. The book we discussed was "Me Before You" and it was very well liked by most. There were a couple of people who thought it was predictable and let like they'd heard the same story before. For most of book club, it was a real hit. I thought it was one of the best books i'd ever read. I actually read it twice i liked it so much. A gripping topic for discussion. The book we chose next is called "The Orphan Train" by Christina Baker Kline. Our next meeting will be April 16th back at Rhonda's (my) house. Looking forward to seeing everyone then!
