A couple of weeks ago was Book Club. Our book was Goodnight June by Sarah Jio.
Everyone seemed to enjoy this fanciful account of the origins of the classic children’s book, “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown.
I thought Norene’s email summed up the night perfectly, so I hope she doesn’t mind that I add an excerpt here:
“You all missed a great book club meeting last week … a few of us traveled all the way (haha) to Philadelphia, PA in the Northern Liberties section. It literally took us maybe 20 minutes to get to Trish’s house and she made it a great night!! We also planned to hopefully get together when the movie Gone Girl releases and have a Girls Night Out at the movie theater, which is scheduled to hit the theaters October 3rd.”
The refreshments were yummy! In keeping with the Italian restaurant theme of the book, we had some antipasti and delicious biscotti from Termini’s bakery. Sometimes its worth it to make the trip to the big city!
We also had a Book Shower for Trish, which was fun. The new baby already has a good-sized TBR (to be read) pile!
I’m only bummed that I forgot to bring this little gift that I bought months ago, specifically for an occasion like this:
Oh well, she’ll get it eventually. I better get on the ball and get better at this Grandma business!! It won’t be long!
