Underground Literary Society

My friend Dawn asked me a couple of weeks ago if I would be interested in joining her book club in Greenville. They meet once a week at Coffee Underground on Main Street. I have never been in a book club, but love reading. So of course, I said yes! Our first book to read was The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. At first I was a little wary being that the first book to read had such a weird title. But I started reading it and really liked it. It was based on WWII and the German occupation of the channel islands. It was fiction, but based on a lot of facts. Great read.





On Sunday, we met to discuss the book, which took about 5 minutes. The rest of the time, we just gabbed and talked about other stuff. One of the girls is a professional photographer so she wanted to take our picture in a nearby park. It was a lot of fun and we had a good time pretending to be a secret reading club like in the book. We also named ourselves that day. Since they usually meet at Coffee Underground, we came up with Underground Literary Society.



My friend Dawn & I are expecting babies at the same time. Her due date is March 12 and she is expecting twins. So we also had our picture taken together. She is showing more than I am, but since she's carrying two, that was expected. What a fun day!
