Hello Novel Spirits, as you can see I am trying to catch up on all the important posts I neglected for the past couple days (or months whatever, who's counting?) So here is the May meeting summary post.
First order of business was the money. No surprise there. Indy and Diesel paid, no one else did. No surprise there. However, I can inform you all that as of now, Achimedes and I have put our $5 bucks into the super secret squirrel dictionary book safe so now we are current in our dues. And don't worry Waldo, we aren't adding to your balance, even though I'd love to take all the interest from that account and put it all on black! We won't make you pay until you come to your first meeting. :-)
Even though I provided some pictures in the last post, I'll bring the book safe to the next meeting so everyone can see what the club's very first investment looks like. I really think its awesome myself!
After another review of everyone's books yet to read, none of us decided to change out our book choices so no changes to that.
Indy now has (or I hope she has, depending on how technically savvy I am) admin access to the blog so she can update her own "Off the Grid" segment, which has its own gadget here on the blog. Now she can put her own style and personality to it (which she has done very well in person) and it will be better than me just trying to summarize her discussion.
And of course, as we all know by now, Bean's next book is The Carpet People, by Terry Pratchett. We ended up discussing the second Maze Runner book last time, so we'll try again for The Carpet People again this time.
The adults' book (although calling us adults is rather a stretch I think we'll all agree) is Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. You might have heard of him.
I'm looking forward to our next binge eating and moderate drinking session aka book club meeting!
You forgot to mention that we are going to have a Huck Finn theme at our next meeting! Diesel found a Huck Finn drink recipe to try, and Archimedes, Diesel and Indy (at the very least) plan to dress for the theme. :)
