Mom's
Reading
We are a group of women who range in age from 33-47. We come from all walks of life, we have different professions, different levels of education and different backgrounds, families, and homes. Being different is what makes our group so much fun. And what we have in common makes our group amazing. We are all mothers, with children who range in age from newborn to 21! We love to eat, which is why we take great care in planning our menus each month. And mostly, we love to read, thus the title of our webpage: "Mom's Reading". All of us have uttered these words to our children at one time or another. When we're so engrossed in a book (or we have to read it by book club that night at 7:00), and our children are vying for our attention, we barely look up from our book and say, "In a minute, Mom's reading!"

We had our first meeting on September 17, 2004. We had a
very slow start, which I think is pretty normal. We had 6
members at the time. We discussed Under the Tuscan Sun
by Frances Mayes. We had some pretty differing opinions on
this book, and that's when we knew this book club would be a lot
of fun. We all did agree though, that the Italian food we
feasted on was heavenly! The chefs among us went all out,
and it was then we decided to create menus that corresponded
with the book.
We met very randomly at the beginning. It probably took about 4-5 books to really get going. If you're starting a book club, click here for some advice. From the original six members, four have remained and we've added another six. Over the course of the years, four members left for one reason or another and sometimes new members were immediately added! We joke that we need a wait list! We also started meeting on a rotating schedule. One month it would be a Thursday night. The next month, a Friday night, and so on. But, we soon learned that this was confusing and we all really preferred Friday nights. Many of our book club meetings go to the wee hours of the morning. So, a weekend night made more sense. Now, we all truly love our book club and the friends we have made. We consider ourselves pretty lucky to be part of such an amazing group. |
