June Bookclub

We were off schedule because of summer trips, so we met late in the month (which means next month's gathering is less than 2 weeks away).

We were celebrating my birthday so everyone brought their own take-out, plus Jenn picked up a tasty pork quesadilla for me.

Amy missed her 3rd month in a row because she was in New York for her anniversary.

After dinner we moved outside (my favorite) to discuss the book and watch the day turn into night, it's such a pretty view there.

We teased Jana that she looked like a kid in the grown-up chair because she looked so tiny sitting there.

We had a good laugh about Collette and Jana's disgust and irritation with the book The Peculiar Sadness of the Lemon Cake. It wasn't even a book club selection but Collette recently finished it and gave it 2 stars and Jenn proclaimed she'd give it zero if she could...meanwhile Michelle and I both gave it 4.

We covered a lot of subjects during our 4 hours together but didn't have a whole lot to say about our book for the month because it wasn't really a good discussion book. It was enjoyable, a solid 3 stars for most of us, but not very substantial.

The highlight of the evening was the glorious Ding Dong cake Michelle made! Oh I love it so!

They also gave me a $100 gift card to the mall so I can get some stuff for a little trip I'm taking next week, hee.
