I’ve never been the book club type.
Don’t get me wrong, I like reading, but I’ve never felt the draw to read in a group.
That has changed recently and I did end up joining a book club. I found out that I do enjoy talking about books with other people. Besides, it gives me a chance to get away from the kids, and have a glass of wine, every now and then. The only thing I don’t like about the book club is how cold the club leader’s house always is. I know some clubs meet at different houses every week or they meet at a restaurant. Our club doesn’t do that. We meet in the founders house every time. And every time, her house is freezing cold. The air conditioner must be set to under 60 degrees. I don’t know for sure because I’ve never found the thermostat. I’ve looked for it, on many occasions, but I just can’t find it. It must be hidden away fairly well. The other women in the book club are also cold and we have started making a little bit of a joke about it. We all dress up warm whenever we come to the club meetings. We also drop little hints. One of the girls straight up asks that we turn the heater on. All of this gets us nowhere. Meeting after meeting, we’re freezing cold. Maybe that’s why we always read books about sunny, warm vacations. The last book we read actually took a place in hell. I have to say, that sounded more comfortable than our meeting place. Bit, I do enjoy going to my book clubs, Even if the air conditioner is blasting away.
