Our Book Club (BC) started about 3.5 years ago. We came together as women who loved to read and who wanted to share that passion. Little did we know what BC would come to mean to us....
In the last 3.5 years we have been through layoffs, breakups, difficult pregnancies, birth of children, stressful times with friends, financial difficulties and personal losses. And we've celebrated holidays, birthdays, weddings, engagements, new jobs, new loves, new babies, new friends, great adventures, and great wine. Our group tries to meet monthly, though it usually actually happens every 6 weeks or so. We hardly ever make it every 4 weeks only because the chemistry of us all together makes it worth it to put off the next date until the day that most of us can make it.
When we began BC we decided to meet Thursday nights. Fridays and Saturdays were days reserved for precious boyfriends, husbands, families or other obligations. After suffering through our hangovers following that first BC we all agreed, Thursdays just would not work. I think we stayed at the inaugural BC until 1 or 2 AM. We laughed so hard we cried. We drank enough wine to put our men under the table. And we realized the magic of this group.
We are: Dawn V (not pictured), Stacy H, Mia R, Alli A, Amber D, Joy D and Dylon M. We are strong, loving, loyal, intelligent, successful, happy, and really fricking funny women. We are Book Club. We are Inclement Bitches.
Don't get too excited: no secrets will be revealed here. This is merely a way for us to chronicle our hilarious moments and actually discuss and keep track of the books we've read. (Yes, we do actually read and discuss books.) The plan is for the hostess of the last meeting to be in charge of blogging about that meeting and post our next book. Ladies, when it is your turn, make sure you indicate who is doing the writing. We should all feel free to comment and share this with anyone who may appreciate what we're all about: good times, good friends, tasty wine and great books. Cheers!
