I love spoilers. I ALWAYS flip to the end of the book first to find out what happened. Then I take the journey to get there. This is why I don't like reading e-books because you can't flip (scrolling is NOT the same). I keep a stack of books on the back of the toilet, because, let's face it, that's the only time I have to read. When I finish a book I play out scenes in my head of what happened after, usually inserting myself as a new character. This can last for weeks if the book was really good.

2018 End of Year Wrap Up

     So November and December were a bust for Book club. This tends to happen around holiday time because it is hard to gather such a large group when everyone is also dealing with extra family, cooking, cleaning, and all things dealing with presents. January will also be a no book club month because for some reason this year we all seem to need some down time after Christmas. We will resume book club meetings in February when we come together after reading Truly Madly Guilty by Liane Moriarty.     I thought we could start off the new year by talking about how last years reading goals went for us and what our reading goals look like this year. Sam : I read 38 books and my goal was 24! I didn't meet all my goals though because I didn't finish the read harder challenge and I also stopped keeping track of what I had read which is really disappointing. I'm really hoping to keep track of everything this coming year and finally finish the challenge! In 2017 I ...

Unicorn Crossing

Unicorn Crossing Another Phoebe and her unicorn adventure by Dana Simpson Characters: Phoebe is the main girl in the book The Unicorn’s name is Marigold Max is the boy she likes but she hasn’t said that yet. I can just tell. Dakota is the girl who picks on Phoebe in this book. Plot: Part of the plot is that they go camping, Marigold didn’t like camping and Phoebe was annoyed how Marigold was always humming. This part of the book is where they both have to figure out how to deal with each other’s problems and learn to compromise. Another part of the book is where Marigold has to leave for a few days and Phoebe has unicorn withdrawal. “I hope you will be alright without me for a few days” “ I survived for 9 whole years before I knew you, I could make it a few more days” “Until I return, farewell” Then I really like when Phoebe goes through the different stages of Unicorn withdrawal. Stage 1: Denial Stage 2: Anger Stage 3: Bargaining Stage 4: Depression & Stag...

Folsom - August Meeting

   I know it has been a few months since we have updated but we decided to hit the restart button on bookclub. We were all falling into a slump of not reading and using our meetings as a hangout instead of as a book club. For our first meeting after this restart, it was Nicole's pick and she chose Folsom by Tarryn Fisher and Willow Aster.  The nation as we know it is a thing of the past. With the male species on the verge of extinction, a society called the End Men is formed to save the world. Folsom Donahue is one of twelve men whose sole purpose is to repopulate the Regions. The endless days spent having sex with strangers leaves Folsom with an emptiness no amount of women, money, or status can fill. Until Gwen. Gwen has wanted a child for as long as she can remember, but when she finally gets a chance to have her own, she uncovers a long hidden truth. The injustice she sees moves her to help save the men whom no one else believes need saving. A forbid...
