January 24, 2021 Meeting Minutes: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires (Maren’s Pick)

Discussion: Maren- I thought this book would be more graphic. It was good. I liked the crazy mother in law. Liked the first half better then the second half. Would not recommend. 3/5 Jocelyn- I loved it! I went into it thinking it was going ot be a silly young adult novel and that is exactly what it was. It was somewhat predictable, and I hated half the characters, but couldn’t put it down. Would not recommend. 4/5 Julie- Lots of hype about this book. Loved that the authors mom inspired the book. Hated all the husbands! I really liked it. Nice fun easy read. I was interested the entire time. Would recommend. 4/5 Caitlin- I liked the book. It was a fun read. Found lots of flaws within the story. Somewhat predictable. Would recommend. 4/5 Ali- Thought it was a female author the whole time. I liked it overall. Pretty fun read. Would recommend. 3/5 Favorite Characters: Maren- Mrs. Greene Jocelyn- Ragtag Julie- James Caitlin- Ragtag and Kitty Ali- Kitty and Slick “A reader lives many lives. The person who doesn’t read lives but one. But if you’re happy just doing what your told and reading what other people think you should read, then don’t let me stop you. I just find it sad.” Balance $$$- $200. Julie paid $12 to even us out. Everyone is paid to current.
