Book Clubs

After a long time of making jealous eyes at anyone who manages to go to a book club that continues to function, it turns out I’m now part of FOUR book clubs. Five if you count the local brewery’s book club that I keep meaning to get involved with but can’t seem to make it to.

Unfortunately three of them are solely online, but the fourth was started by me and it will be both online and as a Sunday brunch meeting which makes me delighted, and is a true crime . Of course, this also means I have four books to read. This wouldn’t be a problem since I read more than 4 books in a month generally, but I’m not always good at reading ONLY assigned reading so I need to be more diligent about making sure I’ve done what I need to do and then read other stuff.

So here’s what I’m reading:

Sleeping Beauties

So I started the audio of this and I honestly don’t know if I’ll get all the way through it; I might have to bow out of this month’s discussion. This is a controversial opinion but I just don’t love SK. I try but he just has a cadence and a wordiness that drives me up the wall. I’ll give it a chance though.

History of Love

This is for a new online book club add, and I’m excited because it’s a little different format – they have a “heavy book” and a “light book” every month and you read what you want to read, or you can go back to other books in the year and participate in those discussions. I picked a recent pick to start on though, and I’ll see how it goes.

StartUp

This is for my Ladies book club, and I made the recommendation because I own the book and hadn’t read it yet so yay! I am kind of excited; it’s supposed to be fun and light and hilarious.

Fatal Vision

This is my true crime pick, the story of Jeffrey MacDonald who was convicted of killing his family. Did he do it? Did he not do it?
