January’s Spotlight is Bookies With Class!
Our group of 11 has been together for over 12 years. We range in age from 55-80. We formed after several of the ladies became friends when attending a church-sponsored series on leading a purpose-filled life. They came up with the idea of staying in touch through a book club. I was courted (I fought the idea) by a couple of neighbors when the group was formed. I attended a meeting when it was held in one of my neighbors’ homes. My plan was to go to the meeting, and then then tell them I wasn’t interested.
This is a photo of some of the members of our book group, The Bees. We are from Superior, MT, and we meet weekly in our small local library.
We are a group of six best friends (including one mother-daughter) that decided to start a book club in March, 2016. Our book club meetings have become the highlight of our month.
Our group is called Loose Ladies. There are 7 women in the group and we take turns hosting a lunch, selecting a book and leading the discussion. Our group has met now for 3 years. We read classics, mysteries, bestsellers and the recommendations from Reading Group Choices which is an invaluable tool. I also won an audio book from Reading Group Choices Everybody Rise which our group has shared and thoroughly enjoyed.
The Grant Book Club began meeting in the library just 3 years ago. We grew from a beginning of 6 to the 10 regulars we are today. Our group of ladies is multi-generational bringing a wealth of experiences and reading choices to the table. Monthly books range from current bestsellers to time worn classics. We have read Wuthering Heights and A Light Between Oceans, Ernest Hemingway and Fannie Flagg and much in-between.
