last night was my book club meeting that i got to host. i love hosting. i hate doing "homework" so i didn't. it ended up being fun. we all just shared what we liked or didn't like about sarah's key and there was no following a readers book club guide. just winged it which is how i like it! watermelon martini's, sweet tea, wine and beer along with buckeye brownies with vanilla ice cream and cinnamon apple cake was served. [wish i had gotten photos of them]
while waiting for the bus yesterday my neighbor asked if i was worried that hamilton would eat some of the desserts. i told her "nah, hamilton wouldn't do that. " of course once i got inside i saw that 1/4 of the cinnamon apple cake was missing. i had to text her that she jinxed me!
this morning i got to babysit this little cutie. my 4 year old niece. she let me braid her hair like kaylee's and we went to feed the fish and for a little walk. told my sister she needs to come over some morning so i can do a mini photo shoot with her.
Hey-I have to agree. i enjoyed talking about the book instead of following a guide. it was a more natural discussion, it was so much fun and everyone is getting much more comfortable as a group. Thanks for hosting. Next month we'll be slumming it at my house! Also, check the blog, we are reading THREE books for next month! Two are short stories though!
