We decided to start a monthly book club meeting as a result. These meetings will take place on the LAST Tuesday of every month. Our next meeting, then, will be August 28th at 5:30 PM. Mary Blain has been kind enough to volunteer to host this event at her home.
Our next book selection is What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. Find it on amazon.com HERE!
Book description from Amazon: Alice Love is twenty-nine, crazy about her husband, and pregnant with her first child.
So imagine Alice’s surprise when she comes to on the floor of a gym (a gym! She HATES the gym) and is whisked off to the hospital where she discovers the honeymoon is truly over — she’s getting divorced, , she has three kids, and she’s actually 39 years old. Alice must reconstruct the events of a lost decade, and find out whether it’s possible to reconstruct her life at the same time. She has to figure out why her sister hardly talks to her, and how is it that she’s become one of those super skinny moms with really expensive clothes. Ultimately, Alice must discover whether forgetting is a blessing or a curse, and whether it’s possible to start over…
If you're a reader or want more inspiration for new reading, please join us!! You can come at any time, even if you can't make it every month.
For August's meeting we ask each person to bring one new book suggestion (whether you've read it already or just really want to read it). It can be from any time period or genre. We will then select several books to put on the schedule for upcoming months.
Additionally, if you come to book club, please try to bring a small snack to share if you can. It can be sweet or savory!
So here's the run-down:
Next Meeting Date: August 28th at 5:30 PM
Location: Home of Mary Blain
7618 E. Oakmount (East Wichita, in the Willowbend development)
What to bring: Yourself, the book "What Alice Forgot," a new book suggestion, and a small snack to share!
FINALLY - if you would like to be included on our "book club email list" please let Amanda know. (Email me at ahaas47@gmail.com) We won't continue sending out book club emails to our entire listing - we'll start only emailing those who are interested. But we will always post about the next meeting and book choice on Facebook and our blog!
We hope many of you will join! We had so much fun at the first meeting yesterday discussing Gone Girl.
Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions!
Loyally,
Amanda Haas
Chapter President
PS - Stay tuned for BIG NEWS about our other upcoming events and our August 21st Chapter Meeting!
