Happy New Year, fellow bookworms! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday!
December's book club meeting was an intimate one at Shana's, with only 6 of us in attendance to discuss Shana's book choice, Shiver. Shana had everything decorated so beautifully for Christmas and the food was wonderful (king ranch chicken, chips, yummy garlic bread). Sunday made dessert of cake balls (and who doesn't love a cake ball?), peanut butter pie, and something else that I can't remember.
Overall, everyone felt the book was pretty disappointing. We tried... we really tried. But it was just too juvenile. It was trying really hard to be a Twilight, but with the werewolf twist... well, it just didn't cut it.
It's been a while, but I'll do my best to recall the other topics of discussion: Shana's boyfriends and how she makes them cry, and then kicks them out of her house (and out of town, for that matter); how to make cake balls moist (you mix icing in with the mix); the enticing possibility of us making our book club into a reality show and even went so far as to determine each role we'd play (Shana would be the boy-crazy one, Anissa would be the mommy of the group, keeping us all in line... and Farrah and I would be the bad girls who would fist fight when the discussion didn't go our way. I don't remember Lisa's or Sunday's roles. Do you ladies remember? This is important, so please pipe in if you can think of it.)
As usual, lots of discoveries made and many of our world's issues put to rest.
