April Book Club

Last night we enjoyed a fun night at Katie's apartment, thanks for hosting! Wherever there is Popper Dip that is where you will find the ladies from RBTW, just sayin'.

Our book choice this month was 50 Shades of Grey, we had to see what all this hype was about. Basically we couldn't not read this book. But did it live up to the hype? Sorry to say most of us were somewhat disappointed but then on the other hand most of us read the book, which is very rare (two did not). The writing is isn't great and the story line could use some work as well. It was hard to get past the similarities to Twilight, naive girl with the mysteriousness dangerous man, just too cliché. We'd still tell fellow Wine Book Clubs to read it for a fun night of hilarious conversation over lots and lots of wine (weeknight wine runs aren't really ok and coming back with champers is really NOT ok). I prefer not to go into details of the X rated conversation (Hi Mom!) from last night but I will say that somethings should always remain tight. It's a quick easy read that sucks you in from page one, just go upload (do not buy the hard copy please, that's just wrong) there are typos, weird terms, and lots of sex. One last thing on the book...what year is it suppose to be anyways? What college senior in Seattle wouldn't have a laptop? Dumb.

We did talk about the book more then usual but other topics included: Angelina, Middletons, tattoos, scars, gypsies, Chelsea Handler, nervous breakdowns over Kayne & Kim, broken feet, every hot celebrity male under the sun including but not limited to James Franco, Johnny Depp, Ryan Gosling, Michael Fassbender, Ed Burns, and Ed Norton to name a few, also Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall, vanity sizing, Block 37, Target, "stars are just like us", waiting tables, man voices, and CTA mishaps.

Fun fact of the night is our new member Katy is voice twins with Zoe Deschanel.

We would have taken picture but someone spilled an entire full glass of red wine on the carpet while standing up to get her camera and of course everyone went into a chaotic state of cleaning. So in place I will give you this:

After the massive spill something really weird happened, a product appeared on the counter that our hostess claims to have never seen before in her apartment. And guess what?...it works like a charm. Book Club Wine Fairy? Weird. Seriously though where did it come from?
