Ignore my previous messages. I hate doodle. Can you fill this out instead?

you guys all did great filling this out! It might seem like it didn't submit, but it did!

 The vote is we will have book club on Monday 8/21 (six people said they could do that). 

Location TBD!

I most likely won't be able to come to book club on the 21st, and I believe I'm picking next. Do you want me to send out book options in the coming week for book club weekend?

Ok I'm going to be annoying. I think the 8/21 meeting should be social only since Maine is 9/2. That's 12 days and I don't think it makes sense to have book club within 2 weeks of each other. There's not enough time to read the book!

The other option is to have it on one of the July dates. I'm ok with missing it if I was the only person who couldn't make it

I'm a dumb-dumb! Beth pointed out we could just not discuss a book in Maine! So nevermind my earlier objection!

Shall we take the tenor of the group to see if folx want to also discuss a book in ME? If so, I'll plan to send out book choices a bit earlier than book club-- it means we'll have to be a bit flexible on voting structure (maybe everyone gets three votes this time).

Cough drops help a lot with the terrible Paxlovid taste!

Hey yall-

We had an awesome weekend in Maine and missed those of you who couldn't make it. Mel and Jason were fabulous hosts and we got lots of time chilling by the lake and eating tator tot casserole. Only two of us read the book (can you believe I did?) and so the discussion was limited but overall no one really liked it. 

Next book is Sea of tranquility and here is the new link for finding a time for our next book club meeting:


Thanks!
Beth

Hey dudes-

Here is the link to pick a date for October Book Club:   https://www.when2meet.com/?21719136-hhkzz

The book is The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store by James McBride, Oberlin College Class of '79. Way older than me and Mel!

xoxo
