Last night was the inaugural book club meeting. I'd say it was a success. I hosted at our house and there were six of us. Two couldn't make it and one was a no-show, so there are nine of us total in the group. We discussed "
A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini and it was an interesting chat. Everyone seemed to really like the book, and it was good to hear that it was a title that some of them normally wouldn't have chosen.
Since it was our very first meeting, I decided to have a door prize. Nothing like a little
bribe incentive to get people to the meeting. The prize included a set of book lights and a handmade bookmark. I'd never sewn on paper before, and I gotta say...it was fun!
Everyone was very excited that I decided to organize a book club, and it seems like everyone is really into the idea! Every month, a new member will select the book and lead the discussion. Next up, "
Harvesting the Heart" by Jodi Picoult.

That bookmark is super cute. And I absolutely adored that book. His writing is simple and his storytelling skills are superb!
