Heres whats happening at Reading and Winen

Reading and Winen had another memorable meeting on 5/27/2012. There is a reason I look forward to our meetings. I'm like a kid at Christmas counting down the days untill I meet the lovely ladies of Reading and Winen. We bring great books, fabulous food, wine and spirits, and tons of conversation to fill hours and hours of fun, fun, fun. Between chatting up books and reading passages we squeeze in gossip, singing, and dancing.  We also conducted much needed buisness to help build up our blog. Please feel free to check out our latest review and our updated bios on our current members.

Besides taking care of the behind the scenes and eating, we did go over books we read during the last two weeks. 

·         The Lucky One – By Nicolas Sparks.

·         The Principal’s Office  -   By Jasmine Haynes

·         Always the Baker Never the Bride – by Sandra D. Bricker

·         Three Days to Dead – by Kelly Meding

·         The Difference Between Soccer and Football – T.J. Lutgring

Our goal for this meeting was to catch up on books that we had listed as must reads.  I don’t think we reached that goal but that’s just more reading we need to do. As you can tell we love reading.

 We also went over books to add to our list.

·         Weekend Agreement – by Barbara Wallace

·         Bitter is the New Black – by Jen Lancaster

·         Momnesia – By Lori Verni-Fogarsi

·         Always the Designer Never the Bride – By Sandra D. Bricker

 Gabriela read passages from Bitter is the New Black and I became intrigued. I love her bitter sarcasm and can't wait to read more. Gabriela said “It was great to read a book by someone who writes how I think!”

 We can't forget the food because what is a meeting with out some food. Our theme was more of a back yard BBQ to coincide with Memorial Day weekend and Carnaval weekend in the San Francisco Bay Area. We had a spread that included: jalapeño artichoke dip, salsa, cheese and crackers, chips and bread, hamburgers, french fries, garlic fries and sweet potato fries.  Dessert was a yummy strawberry tart that Gracia brought over. It was DELICIOSO! Drinks included red Chiliean wine, and grapefruit margarita. 

 Can't wait for our next meeting.
