Hellobee Boards

Yup, we meet once a month except the summer (Jun-Sept) and read only female writers

I am in a book club! I love it! We read one book a month and get together for a pot luck dinner. Most of the dinner is socializing and then we spend time talking about the book. I think the best part is getting some girl time, eating delicious food (we go all out for book club dinners), and the wine (which I can't have anymore). We've also read a couple books that have been turned into movies and then hold our meeting at restaurant before going to see the film together.

I'm in a book club, we meet every month or every other month...but it is a lot of wine consumption as well!

I wish I was in a book club! How do you find them, ladies?

@Mrsjets: We just did The Great Gatsby!

I haven't. My mom is in the same book group she was in 30 years ago when I was born. Now they are all great friends with grown kids and starting to have grandchildren. I think the books are their foundation but I know some months she goes to the meeting without reading the book.

@Bao: I guess I am technically in one now, but we haven't met in forever and I missed the last few meetings because I was super pregnant and tired, or had a screaming newborn.
I joined one that reads books that are movies. One book/movie per every two months (with no meeting in November or December). We meet one month to watch a movie, then the next month discuss/compare the book. I always thought it was backwards, I don't want to watch the movie until I have read the book. They switch hosting duties so everyone has a turn. The whole thing is really an excuse to get away from DH's and kids and drink wine.

Things kind of fell apart because half the group was homeschooling moms who got together for other social events, and the other half was working women (some with kids and some without). Myself and three other girls tried to keep it going for a while and called it "book club" but we did crafts instead, lol. We carved pumpkins in October, made cards, etc.

I would love to be in a real book club with women who truly enjoy reading.

@mewtill: I was invited to join one by a co-worker. It was all co-workers or their wives. I waited forevvvvva for them to invite me I'd hear them talking about it and it sounded so fun but I didn't want to invite myself!

I have been in a book club for about a year. We all vote on a book and then read it. Each month a different woman has book club at her house. Ours involve a lot of gossiping and wine consumpiton, oh and a little discussion of the book!

My mom is in an awesome book club. I've never been in one myself but I have gone to hers a few times when she hosts. They pick a book for the month and read it, and the host will usually use that theme to serve a meal and decorate. For example, if the book takes place in India they make Indian food. They will also pick books to go with the season/holidays so that will fit with the theme. They go all out to make a huge meal for about 20 people, and they break out their best china for it. Sometimes they also discuss the book
