The second Tuesday of the month is our Book Group meeting, and September is when we choose the books for the year. We try to keep it simple - the book must be in paperback, and you must have read the book in order to recommend it. We make a big list of all the books that are recommended, then vote in some way to choose the 9 for the year. We then assign the month, the hostess, and the leader for each book, and I send out a schedule to everyone so we know what we'll be doing. It has worked quite well for all these years, and we always have some unusual books. That's what I like most about the club - it forces me to read books that otherwise I would never have picked up.
And, of course, we always have goodies - I hosted it tonight, and David & I made crackers with cream cheese and smoked salmon for snacks, and I made a chocolate zucchini cake with a berry sauce made from the black hucklberries I picked in the mountains. Yummy!
