i hope you think it's as brilliant as i do because i've been pondering this for quite some time now.
i am going to start my very own book club. & i want YOU to be a part of it!
here's what i'm thinking:
i want to start off by reading The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. you can read the synopsis here. i have heard amazing feedback about this series and have been extremely anxious to start reading! however, i thought this might be a good introduction to my masterpiece.
so there's three books (the hunger games, catching fire, and mockingjay) which i thought could be tackled a month at a time. there is going to be a monthly meeting (something which all members can agree upon) where we will discuss our book, chat, create friendships, eat and be merry.
because i don't expect everyone to be completely on board with this at first (which i hope you cave in to eventually because it will be so amazingly worth it) i plan on tackling the first three book club chats with full force. after that, it can be up for debate on who wants to take the reins for the next book, meeting destination, what-have-you's.
in my mind, i picture a group of about 10-13 ladies, however, i welcome the idea of having more or less. i want this to be a place to socialize and make lasting relationships with those who share a common interest(reading & friendship), a place where we can all let our inner bookworms out.
it is my promise to you that i will make treats and provide tastey bevies to indulge in over our conversations.
i realize this probably won't make a ton of sense right off the bat, so i want to host a meet & greet sesh with all the girls so we can all get to know each other and get to know the book club. it will be a time to establish guidelines and ideas for how our book club will unfold. we will discuss it all.
i just want to have fun and experience something new.
this is merely me just getting my feet wet and seeing who responds. i have been putting this off for a while because i wanted it to be perfect and neat and orderly, but then i thought--what the heck, i just need to submerge myself in it and see what happens.
who's with me?
loves to you all,
j

man I would totally want to be a part of this group, but seeing as I'm out of state most of the year... it would be tough :/
but I do think it is a brilliant idea Jill!
P.S. I have heard really great things about the Hunger Games series too.
I'm game!
Jenna-- you should still do it! We can't let the distance between us stop you from joining! We can hold web chats hahaha. We'll figure somethin out.
