Okay, confession time....I spend an unhealthy amount of time on The Nest...I swore I never would, but after "meeting" a ton of awesome ladies on The Knot while planning my wedding, I couldn't just say "Sionara" once the wedding was over....so, now - I spend a good chunk of my day laughing and bitching with girls across the country that are at the same stage of life I'm in....including the "I need to get back into reading" stage. So, TA-DA! After a collective effort by Amelia and Sara, the Niners Book Club has been formed.

You're on FIRE with your list, good job!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to lie: I've always been intrigued by book clubs. Does this make me a nerd?
Haha...if you're a nerd - I'm a nerd. Woooah, flashbacks to the Notebook right there...."If you're a bird, then I'm a bird."
ReplyDeleteI need a reason to read - so, book club is my reason!
