Hey Novel Spirits, since the next meeting is at the Baron and Archimedes residence, I had an idea for a book related food theme from MORIARTY: Curry. It won't be chicken but I thought making a curry dish would be cool since a curry dish plays an interesting, small part in the book.
I want to make sure everyone is okay with that though since its kind of exotic. If you don't think you want that, let me know, otherwise I'll take silence as consent and find us a good curry recipe.
I won't give away the reason, and how curry plays into the book but I thought it was kind of cool.
Hope everyone is well. see you soon Novel Spirits!
We are a group of friends who like to read books. We decided to form a club in order to read the same books, then discuss them. Its a good excuse to get together, drink wine, hang out, eat, drink some more wine and get different perspectives on what we read. It's cool to get out of our own comfort zones by reading books we wouldn't otherwise ever read. It's fun hanging out and drinking wine together.

NEW POLL
Hey Novel Spirits, since we're officially a year old now, I had an idea to post a new poll on the blog that lists every book the club has read so far and we can all vote on our top three favorite books so far. I haven't done a poll in awhile so maybe its time for a new one. So the way this one will work is I'll have a list of every book the club has read so far, and you can select up to three choices for your favorite books. The poll can accept more than one choice for each person.
Also, I am about half way through MORIARTY and I am really enjoying it so far. I won't say much about it so I don't give anything away. But its good so far. It makes me want to read all the Sherlock Holmes stories as well.
It also makes me want to travel back in time to the late 1800s. The way they dress and talk seems really cool. But no smart phones or cars or internet, or modern medicine. So it would be great to visit, but probably wouldn't want to stay very long.
Speaking of smart phones, I have been without mine for a week or so now and it is pretty frustrating. Isn't it weird that only ten years ago, we all lived just fine without smart phones, yet now that I am without mine today, I feel completely out of touch with the world. Like I am missing out on everything going on in the world. How weird. I'm sure all my twitter and pinterest followers are beside themselves in my absence right now.
Well, no real point to this post other than to inform you all of the new poll. September 27th folks at the Baron's place!
see ya there Novel Spirits
