A Book Club
Today the writer of a mystery blog I read listed her book club's selection for the month of January.For the past thirty years her book club meets once a week and discusses a mystery book. That's quite a committment.
According to a story in The Washington Post, fifty years ago a group three women began meeting to discuss books -- " after they got their children down for naps." Their first book-- The Feminine Mystique.
They quickly established a time and some iron clad rules.No discussion of children was permitted and their meeting time established their name--The Third Tuesday Book Club. More women joined the group. In time twenty- three women joined.
Recently meetings changed from Tuesday evening to Saturday afternoon.
Over fifty years they read 600 books and this June they celebrated their fiftieth anniversary. (Thinking of connections)
