Book Club Month 1 vs. Month 12
About a year ago, I started a book club with a group of friends. The club was simple: One book a month, and we meet the first Wednesday to discuss, catch up with each other and drink wine. We’d rotate hosting and everyone would bring a bite and a bottle. No hard and fast rules … Continue reading
A Few of Our Favorite Things: April
So far, April has been all about the weather — from its blissful breezy start, to its mid-month storms (and TERRIBLE, deadly floods), and now to its humid heat that makes us all go, “ah, yes, this is summer.” We’ve hit the gym a lot so far this month (exhibit A and exhibit B), and obviously … Continue reading

Sarah would LOVE this!” Usually, that just means me loaning it out to them, but Christmas means wrapping it in a bow and calling it Christmas. Here’s the problem: What if none of your friends would … Continue reading
How To Start a Ridiculously Mature Adult Book Club
I’ve come to the realization that I may have left college, but college sure hasn’t left me. Yes, sure, I buy liquor that isn’t two inches above a dirty, tiled floor (ahem, I shop one shelf above bottom) and yes I have a full time job that requests my undivided attention from 9 to 5, … Continue reading
#BOOKCLUB: Me After “Me Before You” Was a Hot Mess
I joined a book club, so duh I’m gonna write about it.
