I'm finally in a book club. Maybe I'm a big dork, but I've always wanted to be in a book club. It's been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and I read my first chapter book... which was Me, My Goat and My Sister's Wedding, in case you were curious.
My book club never happened because I never knew of a book club to join. Sigh.
The other day, however, my friend Melissa invited me to join an online book club. I was giddy with excitement and now I'm a proud member of Aslan's Book Fellowship. Our first read is Anne of Green Gables, which I'm loving. I can't believe I'm only just now reading it. I loved it when the "Anne" movies came on PBS during their fundraising drives when I was little. So funny. I could relate to Anne because I loved to read, I was a little dramatic, my impulses got the best of me sometimes and I had a hard time being nice to myself. Somethings never change, I guess.
We're reading six chapters a week for the club and having discussions about what we read on Facebook. Not exactly what I pictured when I thought of joining a book club... when I was little I imagined some friends sitting in front of a fire, our books and hot chocolate in hand, having discussions long into the night. Welcome to social media! I love it, because there's no way I'd have time to join any other kind of book club!
So there you go. I can cross one item off my Bucket List!
