that ridiculous play on a top gun quote is just my way of saying that i'm excited to announce i'm officially part of a book club! "between the covers" or b.t.c. is the name of the book club that i, along with several of my friends i've met through work, have created.
one day at work, i overheard my friends, monica and erica, discussing how they wanted to read more. i quickly chimed in: "oh my gosh, me too!" obviously, the most logical answer to satisfy our "need to read" was to start a book club of our own. here's the rules...
1. we'll read one book per month, starting june 1.
2. each month has a theme:
june- books made into movies
july- biography/memoir
august- hot and raunchy
september- durgs/alcohol/addiction
october- mystery
november- a classic
december- a choice from the best sellers from 2012
january- comedy
february- love
march- oprah's book club choice
april- fashion-esque
may- still undecided, so tbd
3. we have a group on Facebook where all of the members can submit their choice for the month and we all get to vote.
4. majority rules!
anyway, for those of you who don't know, i'm a chronic non-book-finisher, so i'm really hoping b.t.c. motivates me to continue reading and finish the books i start! so, what is june's read, you ask??
i'm so excited to read "girl, interrupted" by susanna kaysen. i've seen the movie several times, and absolutely love it! barnes & noble is calling my name...time to go make my purchase and dig in to my new read!
