November 5, 2017 Book Club Notes

Ready Player One (Jocelyn’s Pick)
Discussion:
Julie- Eh Category. Too video gamey for me. Not my type of book. Details all over the board. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5.
Maren- Not excited about reading it, but really liked the 80’s stuff. Felt like it dragged on. Love story annoying. Would recommend to certain people. 3/5.
Meriah- Liked it. Can’t wait for movie to come out. Can relate to the video gamer. Loved 80’s references. Would recommend. 3.5/5.
Ali- Liked it a lot. Excited to read it. Don’t like video games, but 80’s referances made it good. Liked the ending. Would recommend. 4/5.

Balance $$$ - Started the club with $0.
Jocelyn and Julie birthday club/ didn’t pay.
Julie had paid ahead for December club.
Meriah and Ali paid through this club/ will pay at December club.
Maren paid.
