Just before I became pregnant with Sophie, over 5 years ago now, I joined my first and so far only book club. For someone who loves to read, finding a group of fellow like-minded readers is a dream come true. We stayed together as a group through babies, divorce, moves, travel, and job changes. The usual stuff of life. After about 4 years we fizzled out.
I actually started to read more after my book club experience. The club had opened up my mind to a world of books I wouldn't have experienced before and I became a much more discerning reader.
A couple of weeks ago an invitation came to meet at Joan's house for a reunion of the group of us. We had a wonderful time....appies, wine, we each brought a book to share or give away. We talked about our kids, recent travels and next trips, people, and the funny little town-city we all share in common.
When you meet up with people who "get" you, it is kind of like finding your clan, isn't it?

So good to hear that you are back in the pack. Don't forget to update me on all your fabulous reads. I love sharing about books.
It is like finding your "clan!" Glad you all got together to enjoy an evening once again. I've fund that it's not really the books that I look forward to, but the time with my book club friends :)
