The Alchemist 25th Anniversary: A Fable About Following Your Dream | Paulo Coelho

We had our monthly meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub yesterday! This selection received mixed reviews from members, and that usually leads to interesting discussions 🙂! My accompaniment was: Guinness and chicken pesto pizza. MMMmmmm 😋! Have you read this book?!

The Reader | Bernhard Schlink

Our monthly meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub happened this afternoon, and it was wonderful 😁! It‘s the only one of my book clubs that currently meets in-person. For today, we all read a different book—whichever one we won at the Holiday Book Grab Bag during December‘s meeting. Mine was the tagged book, which I enjoyed. Accompaniment for me was: cheesesteak, sweet potato waffle fries, and Left Hand Galactic Cowboy Nitro stout beer 🍺. 😋

American Dirt | Jeanine Cummins

We had our monthly meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub today 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! A bunch of members showed up, and everyone enjoyed the (tagged) book even though it‘s had some controversy. This particular book club met on Zoom May-June, and we started meeting in-person again in July when restrictions began to lift. The pub has a massive outdoor seating area that we‘ve enjoyed. As you can see, I had a cheesesteak ☺️. MMMMmmm 😋!

Leftcoastzen That looks so good! 4y

TheSpineView No tater tots?!?🙄 4y

The Great Alone | Kristin Hannah

We went out to an #Irish pub for our latest #ThePoconoBookClub meeting today 😁! I stuck with a strawberry and arugula chicken salad, and a Guinness. 😋

All ten of us really loved this selection! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Next up: Gentleman in Moscow.

TheSpineView I have The Great Alone but have not read it yet. Loved A Gentleman in Moscow. Hope you do too. 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView This is a really good book, but might want tissues. Great for the #ReadwjthMrBook February theme, #tearjerker 4y

Andrew65 Love, love, loved The Gentleman in Moscow. Enjoy! 4y

TheSpineView @Andrew65 Yes it would be. I might read A Dog's Promise for that challenge. 4y

Andrew65 @TheSpineView I‘m still trying to choose a book. 4y

Dark Sacred Night | Michael Connelly

We had our first 2020 meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub yesterday afternoon 😁!!! We all talked about whichever book we had won at December‘s grab bag at our last meeting. I won the Connelly book and it was my first Bosch—not bad, not bad at all. I‘ll have to start with the first now though, lol. Full house of great books discussed! I had cream of chicken soup, garlic-dill clams, toasted bread, unsweetened iced tea, & whisky hot chocolate!

WanderingBookaneer I am loving Renee Ballard 4y

Andrew65 That‘s a surprise, it being your first Bosch. 4y

Another great year-end book club meeting of #ThePoconoBookClub!!! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 So happy to have such a great group of readers meet once a month to discuss books and how they relate to our lives. 😊

We read the tagged book, which received completely mixed reviews—some of us really enjoyed it, some of us thought it was okay, some of us hated it 😆.

Then we had our annual Holiday Grab Bag 🎄! Our prize is our January read! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
