It is mid-day on Saturday and I'm between book club meetings. I just finished working out and I'm almost finished reading the book for my last book club meeting of the day. I will at least finish in time. I started my morning with the Shelf Care Book Club, and it was a great small group of ladies. I will be editing my review of the group now that I've actually attended a meeting to include some information about how they operate.
But I need to wash dishes before I leave for Next Chapter book club this evening, so let's get right to my review of Fantasy Book Club.
This group technically hasn't met yet, because it's the result of me being kicked out of the other fantasy book club in town (because of the events that led to the rebrand of Next Chapter actually). Fantasy has always been one of my favorite genres though, so losing that group was very sad. I saw it coming though because some people are very predictable.
I'm obviously biased about how awesome this group is, since I run it, but I'm also going to be honest that it will be run chaotically. I've met me. I have really solid intentions, and I'm off to a good start at sticking to them right now, but I am just not organized enough for things to not devolve. But that's why the groups that I run meet at the same time, on the same day of the month (in this case it's the 2nd Saturday at 11 am), and at the same place. I do not do a good job of posting events in a timely fashion, but you should at least know where to go and when. But my daughter getting an ADHD diagnosis yesterday may help me get one of my very own, and meds could make a world of difference in my ability to manage these things better.
Unlike the other fantasy group in town, this group is for everyone; men and women. And for now we are supporting a local veteran owned brewery (Wackadoo Brewing) that puts its money where its mouth is, donating a significant portion of profits to organizations that help veterans. That is a mission I can get behind.
Because this group hasn't met yet, I will be using my former group for books that I've enjoyed reading. Some of my favorite books in the fantasy group include Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, and The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh.
Come back either later today or tomorrow to see what I have to say about Atheist Book Club. - Katie
