This year I have been in a local book club started by one of my friends and including any women we might know who just need a night away once a month. We voted on the books at the beginning of the year and we have a very eclectic group of women and books. It has opened my mind to reading books that I might not have considered before. We meet at members homes and always have lively discussions but have also formed friendships, talking about our lives monthly.
Our final meeting of the year we did a book exchange (white elephant style) at a local restaurant. It was fun to get everyone together and talk; then to unwrap and swap these books and be able to talk about these new books, or old books. It was fun and got us all excited for next year. I have enjoyed being able to read more and having people to discuss it with.

You are so lucky! I have been wanting to join or start a book club for months! Unfortunately my friends aren't as enthusiastic about reading as I am...but hey I like to think that my sister and me have our own little book club because she'll buy a book read it and then I steal it and read it the next day and we talk about everything for hours! lol but a book exchange is so clever! What an awesome experience!
What books did you read? I am ALWAYS looking for something new!! Infact, I think I want to join your group. Love you!
