Some girlfriends and I recently started a book club. Most of us all really love to read, so while Abbey and I were in Seattle (well more like en route to Seattle on the plane), we hatched the plan to start a book club. We have a list of books to read for the entire year, and we meet each month to talk about one of the books. Our first one was last month, and really I think we talked about the book we were reading (Water for Elephants), maybe 10 minutes. The other 2 1/2 hours consisted of some wine, appetizers and girl talk. So this may just be an excuse to get together, but I really do love the whole idea behind it! Anyways, the book we are reading for July is caled "Firefly Lane" and I just finished it. I thought it was a really good book. The best kind of books are the ones that pull you into that world and you can just sort of envision how it all is. It's the story about 2 friends, whose friendship spans over 30 years and shows all the different life changes you go through. There were parts where of course I was crying, doesn't take much, and I'm sure if anyone saw me they would think I was crazy...I mean really when you read a book and cry no one knows whats going on, it's not like when you watch a movie and cry, at least then the outside audience can guess why you are crying! So me looking crazy aside, it was a page turner and I loved it. Those feel good, dramatic life stories are the best :)
