My First Bookclub

Hello everyone.  

I don't have a review to give you today. I've been busy!!  But I did want to stop by and let you all know how my first bookclub went.  This past Monday I held my Fiction Addiction Bookclub at the library, and to say that I was nervous was an understatement. You know when you take notes, have questions ready, but get too nervous to read them (or see them) so you just decide to wing it?... Well that was me! 

Surprisingly, it went quite well.    


We discussed The Charm Bracelet by Viola Shipman and 14 people came! Including Grandma & my boyfriend.  (See review here).  13 copies of The Kitchen House went out (next month's Fiction Addiction selection) and 6 copies of Words in Deep Blue (which will be my first meeting for Adults Who Read YA.)

Everyone seemed thrilled to be there, and they didn't mind when I switched two of the characters up.  But I guess it didn't hurt that I gave them ice cream either. 

One thing I have noticed through this process of hosting a book club and making selections is that I forget what I read.  Maybe I read too fast, or maybe I read too much.  Last night I was looking over my GoodReads for books I may want to choose in the upcoming months, and I realized I couldn't remember what ANY of Diane Chamberlin's books were about...just that I love them and have given them all 5 stars. Does anyone else have this book amnesia problem? I think next month, rather than pick a new book, I might just re-read one that I have read but only vaguely remember the details of.  

Anyway, until next time!
