The eight rules of book club
 |
| 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 |
Before we get started though, there are few important rules to book club that everyone should know (modeled off of the Eight Rules of Fight Club):
The first rule of book club is you tell everyone about book club.
The second rule of book club is you tell everyone else that you forgot about book club.
The third rule of book club is when someone starts arguing, or falls asleep, the discussion is over.
The fourth rule of book club is you can only have as many members as reasonable to allow everyone to participate.
The fifth rule of book club is one person talking at a time.
The sixth rule of book club is keep your shirt on, shoes are optional.
The seventh rule of book club is discussions go on as long as they have to.
The eighth and final rule of book club is that if this is your first book club, you have to read the book.
PS - Is that book lasagna (#6) not the most beautiful dish you've ever seen??
Haha love the book lasagna. Those are some good rules for hosting a book club! Hope you enjoy your pumpkin bread, it sounds yummy!
ReplyDeleteI love these rules! And I would like some book lasagna asap please!
ReplyDeleteWren
Rooooooooth! Love these! Must remember last rule for realz, in case I do join one!
ReplyDeleteI don't know Rooth...I think I'd throw a 9th rule in there involving wine...lol
ReplyDeleteSo happy to learn you're a fellow book club nerd. I'll be hosting our next book club next month, as well. Confession: We discuss the book for about 20 minutes and then we catch up on life. I wish our discussions were more robust like yours. I bet you're a great hostess. Enjoy, Rooth!
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear about the book--and I love the tiny book with the skull and cross-bones. :)
ReplyDeleteHow did the food turn out? I made a majorly frustrating evening. But these things happen, not a big deal.
Oh good grief...I "had" a frustrating evening--I didn't make it.
ReplyDeleteThe rules made me laugh out loud but you are definitely missing a rule involving the consumption of wine! Now please tell us all about the pumpkin coffee cake!
ReplyDeleteoh, maybe it's time for me to find a new book club. haven't been to one in ages. and yes, the lasagne looks too beautiful to eat !
ReplyDeleteAaah, this sounds like fun! Love the rules. And another note, I just finished reading Fight Club. Awesome book.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe that that's lasagna, that is crazy!
ReplyDeleteI tell ya, that's why I love autumn most of all! It's the perfect setting for the life's greatest pleasures: candles and books, friends and conversation, and sweet treats baked with love!
ReplyDeleteP.S.--That lasagna book. Seriously. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat's LASAGNA??! Oh my god. I love your Book Club rules. But I think if you guys were reading beachy themed books you could be in bikini tops! Or just like on The Office have themed dress-up and snacks to match the book.
ReplyDeleteI've never hosted a book club but now I know all the proper rules!
ReplyDeleteoh wow how neat! i think i am starting to enter another reading phase!

Love the book lasagna. I need to find a local book club to join. So far, I'm WAY behind on my goal of 30 books in 2012.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that you prepare yourself - book nerds are the best..! :-D
ReplyDeleteOh I do love a good book club!! The last one I attended, no one actually read the book, so I was kinda bummed about that :(
ReplyDeleteI always wanted to do a book club because I love reading! But honestly? It would be better for me in theory than practice at this point in time.
ReplyDeleteGreat and inspiring post,honey!;)

Oh now I want a little library cart! And someone to make me that book lasagna. Love reading but never attended a book club. The 8 rules are fun and I have to agree with Santa to add a 9th rule involving a glass of wine ;)
ReplyDeleteSounds like book club is a lot of fun! Thanks for all of your comments lately! They are awesome and so is your blog!
ReplyDeleteThat book lasagna!!!!!! Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteI like that you are all prepared for your book club. I almost went to a book club a billion years ago but then we were supposed to read the Lovely Bones and it was too depressing so I never went. However, where most people have their credit card number memorized, I have my 10 digit library card memorized. The online ordering at my library is like my QVC. :)
ReplyDeleteI like that you are also sharing what you read since it's always nice to have a list in case I need something to read.
Haha I'm a fan of the final rule. I am guilty of not reading a lot of the time, but this isn't my first rodeo. And when I do manage to get the book read in time, like you, I have my questions ready. I love it.
