My first post was about the book The Help. And this week a few of us went and saw the movie. It was a great movie! Of course the book was better, but isn't it always?
We will have to make movie outings a regular thing!

August Recap
August Book Club was a great night with a great view! Thanks for hosting Tiffany!
Unfortunately this month only one member read the book and she was ready to celebrate.
Like I mentioned in my previous post, everyone seems to think they'll get lots of reading done in the summer but there are always work events, parties, family vacations, and other things. This makes it difficult to find the time to read. Hopefully in the coming months we'll all get back on track.
Topics of conversation included weddings, Amazon Prime, work, D lifting weights, upcoming moves, baby names, braWs and West Side Story.
We also talked a lot about books, there were many good suggestions for upcoming months. The September book will be Rebecca. But keep in mind some of the others that were mentioned...The Joy Luck Club, Maine, Rooms, and One Day. Click any of the titles to read more about the book on Amazon.
We also tried really hard to get a great pic but it didn't really happen.
Here you can see our beautiful faces but not our beautiful city.
Here you can kind of see our city but not our faces. Ok you actually can't see anything.
And this one kind of worked from an iPhone.

Fabulous!
It's summer time here in Chicago, which means it's time to shine! Everyone puts on their cutest outfit with a summer glow and hits the town for those fun summer parties! Many of the ladies from Book Club attended a Surprise Birthday Party for one of our members (who happens to be the writer of this blog). And what-do-ya-know we’ve been blogged about for...well...being so stylish!
You can read the blog here.
Thanks for coming ladies! A BIG thanks to Liz for hosting! And a another big thanks to Ryan for throwing the party (although he will never read this).

June Book Club
Thanks Rachel for hosting! Your new place is so nice and we all agree you need to have some parties this summer on your rooftop!!
We had a great showing this month and almost everyone finished The Hunger Games and a lot of us also read the second book, Catching Fire. Although a discussion never got off the ground on the book, we all enjoyed reading The Hunger Games. It was an easy read (it's a young adult book so it kind of has to be) and a great summer book. Plus it's totally gonna be the next Twilight so everyone will be talking about these books a lot in the next few months. A movie is set to come out in 2012. Read them now before everyone else! I know a lot of will be reading the third, Mockingjay in the next weeks ahead. If you are leery about reading about young people dying just remember "it's not so much about killing people as it's about politics".
Topics of conversation included: Margarita's, vampire facials, botox, Bridesmaids (quotes and all), Coco's butt, full-body laser hair removal, CrossFit, gossip! (about random people), new and old boyfriends, speeding tickets, blue & red & brown lines, Japanese hair straighter (Katie stop touching your hair!), Kindles, hipsters, organic wine, coconut water, and Italy.
"Look grandma........"
We forgot to take a pic last night. :(

It's a Trilogy
Our June book, The Hunger Games is a trilogy. I know of at least three BC members who already finished the first book and are on to the second. So if you order The Hunger Games, you may just want to go ahead and get the box set.
Let's see who can finish all three before the next Book Club on June 23rd!!
