This months Book Club meeting= AWESOME!
This month we read The beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King. A Mystery novel with a retired Sherlock Holmes... or is he. You should read and find out. It brought me back to my Nancy Drew and Boxcar Children Mystery reading days. This post really isn't about the book though.
It is about the meeting.
My friend Cherine hosted it this month, and to go along with the book she set up a game. Anyone who knows anything about good old Holmes, KNOWS he disguises himself. Well we each had to come up with a disguise and get this... Show up at Wal-Mart searching for everyone else.
Rules were:
We had to text everyone when we got in
The game started at 8 PM sharp
We had to take a picture if you spotted someone and then text them they were found
If you were caught, you had to text everyone and let them know and head directly to the make up area
The one last one standing won
It truly was SO fun. We all got funny stares, but who cares. We had a lot of laughs as well. I had a zone area I stuck to and am pretty sure I was being watched for suspicious behavior. I mean first off I looked ridiculous and second I was looking over my shoulder every few seconds to look if someone was watching me. I had two Wal-Mart employees who were walking past me quite frequently. I wanted to say out loud "I promise I am not stealing anything. Search ME!"
Afterwards we went for ice cream and talked about the book. I feel like I have the best book club!
Granny is watching you!
All of us! Didn't we all look great!
If you love books, I would highly recommend you join a book club or start one. It is one of the most anticipated activities I look forward to monthly. What's not to love?
Books + friends + discussions = My kind of party

Oh my gosh! That is the coolest and most potentially hilarious idea ever! I would LOVE to do something like that!
Too funny about people looking at you and wondering if you were shoplifting, though.
That's fun...I was supposed to join a book but never did...maybe I will give it a second shot!
