November 1, 2015 Book Club Notes - ANNIVERSARY

$$$ - Don’t know the new balance. Out for the night trying to spend $540!!!

Next Book club is Nov 29th at Julie’s house.

Birthday club for Julie and Jocelyn and housewarming for Julie.

Book is Scorching Wind by Walter Macken 308 pgs

Next book pick is Meriah’s ?????

Book Pick Order: Meriah, Jocelyn, Ali, Tristana, Maren, Julie.

Duties: Julie- main, Meriah- dessert, Jocelyn- drinks, Ali- salad, Tristana -glasses/apps, Maren- side. Dinner:

Started with a shot at the Diner, onto Bocci’s Cellar for book talk and dinner at the Back 9.

Announcements: Jocelyn- No news. Julie- Mason starts readathon. Book club sponsors? $10 a piece was donated. Meriah- Got Comicon tickets…yay! Ali- No news to share, hating life. Sad Ali  Tristana- Hanging with the beautiful Barbara. Maren- Gave birth to Flynn (spelling?)

Other Items: We reviewed the 92 books the club has read throughout the years. Laughed about the fact that everyone has picked at least one crappy book.

Jocelyn won the baby pool…Yay! She received a candle with patchouli…haha.

It was decided we all pick are own books without input from the club!!

Year of the Hat? We decided no. Tristana is still going to weed thru through. Ali needs to bring to the next club.

Books from the hat will be used if someone shows with no book.

We all want new gear!!! Ali and Meriah are going to price sweatshirts, v necks and stickers. We will be paying from pocket instead of from dues. Ali is going to send a mid month reminder.

Discussion: Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee (Maren’s pick ) Meriah didn’t finish.
Julie- Wanted to give up the whole time. BORING!!! 0/5 Tristana- It felt like a junior high reading assignment. Just had to trudge thru. 0/5 Maren- My favorite part was when I chucked it at Maro during labor. Disappointing overall 1/5 Jocelyn- Hated. Had to assign 20 pgs a day to finish. There was a message of flying from under our parents influences and finding our own views….blah blah 1.5/5 Ali- This was a manuscript that should have stayed hidden!! That’s why she never published it. HATED!! 0/5
Favorite Characters: Everyone chose- Uncle Finch
