With some of the book club selections you never know what you are going to get. We really try to pick a mix of funny, sad, suspense and sometimes even a little romance. Skylar's pick for July (I know we are a little behind) was A Man Called Ove and while some member's of the group (Abbie) weren't sure about the selection, it ended up being a well liked pick.
You can now even skip the reading part and just watch the movie. Although we wouldn't recommend it. The book is funny, sad and even a little bit about love.
I know several of us shed a few tears.
Cindy has a garden full of beautiful wildflowers that she brought over to help decorate Skylar's back deck. She could really go into business with her talents!
The cocktail of the evening was something Skylar created. She made a simple syrup out of lemon verbena she had growing in her garden mixed it with some fresh squeezed lemon juice,vodka, champagne and garnished with her raspberries.
These really sneak up on you if you aren't careful!
We even get lucky and have book club members that have moved away return!
Katie was in town this time and book club is one of her top priorities when she visits.
Some of the main characters in the book are from Iran so Skylar themed the meal around traditional Persian dishes.
