Book Club Shenanigans

I joined a book club!! Those that know me know that I love to read and will pretty much read anything. It is a small group of about 10 lovely ladies. We had our first meeting in April to discuss what kind of books we wanted to read and make some suggestions. All of us read books from all sorts of genres so we went with picking a book from each. We picked 10 books and drew from a hat what order we will read them in. The first book up is The Night Circus. I am about half way through it and it is fantastic!! We plan to meet about once a month to discuss the books and relax and just hang out really. I have never been part of a book club before and I am really excited to read books that I may not have chosen myself. Most of the 10 books we chose I have never heard of before. I don't really have a place for books at my place so they have started to just get piled randomly. They are my decorations. One day when I have a bigger place and my own furniture, a bookshelf is going to be a definite must. I debated on just going to the library and checking out the books, but being me, I decided to head to Chapter's and buy them. If I enjoy the book there is a very likely chance I will read it over and over again. If I don't like it then it will go in my donation pile. Books are never a waste of money to me. If I didn't have to worry about bills and such, my pay cheques would all go to Chapter's.
I am very excited to continue to go to Book Club and get to know the ladies better. I have still found it a little difficult to make friends here and I am hoping that with a smaller group that meets regularly I will build better friendships. With everything happening in my life right now, having something to look forward to is a good feeling. I love having something that is just mine. So much of everything I have right now is intertwined with my man. His friends became my friends, which isn't a bad thing in any shape or form, but I need things that are just mine. 
I need to finish reading this book soon as the next meet up is coming up! It's a little hard to have a deadline to finish a book, but at the same time it's kinda nice. Makes me take time and focus on something else for a while. I'm hoping the sun will come out so I can go read in the park! 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
