Have I told you ...

... about Book Club ?

I don't think I have.
I've joined a book club.
A really cool one !

It's a bunch of ladies who have immigrated to Australia.

Tonight there were ladies from England, South Africa, USA (that'd be me), and Scotland.
There's a couple Aussies as well.

It's a great group of ladies.
And the way they run the club is soooooooo neat.

We meet every six weeks.
Each lady pays $20 each time the club is on.

Whoever hosts the book club at they place buys books and brings them the next time.
But not all the same book.
This is the neat part.

They buy a selection of books.
Those books go into the book club and are available for members to take home.
Kind of like a library.

When the book club meets, each lady tells about the books they have read.
It's such a great way to get GREAT book recommendations !
And great conversation ...

When it's your turn to buy the books, you put your name in the front of the ones you buy.
Then, when you leave the book club, or if it ever disbands, you keep the ones you bought.

I don't know who came up with the idea, I'll have to find out, but I think it's brilliant.
Don't you ?

Here's the books I brought home from our last meeting ....
I kept Addition because I'm half way through it.
The Reader is next on my list.

PS ... the sky photos are various ones I took today.
I love the sky.
I'm always looking at it.
I love clouds.
I'm always admiring them.
I could look at them all day long if I had nothing else to do ...

I'm off to bed people ... books to read, zzz's to catch ...
