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
