Because we all have enough going on already, this year, we opted to not to read a book in December (ok, there's a good chance a lot of us wouldn't have read the book even if we would have planned to read one). Instead, we just gathered to have some cider, wine, snacks, and a lot of time to chat, guilt free.
Prizes were awarded to the people with the most book club points for the year. To no one's surprise, Ann took first place and received a 2019 bookish hardcover planner. To everyone's surprise, Cheryl came in second (even she will admit this was surprising!) and was awarded a bottle of wine. We'll do the points again in the coming year (with a few tweaks) and I'm already thinking about prizes. We finished the night with a cookie exchange.
The reading schedule for 2019 has been posted but, as always, changes are likely to happen and your suggestions will be considered. Bear in mind that our theme for 2019 is "The American Experience" and we'd like to stick to books that can contribute to that in some way.
