So I took a week off to travel to Saskatoon for two days and then to Calgary for five and during my stay in Saskatoon I not only got to go to a friends family wedding but also I got to join some of my old classmates for a book club meeting. Since I've moved back to Regina it's been pretty hard to stay in contact with most of my Saskatoon friends but occasions like these give me chances to re-connect with some of my dearest friends!
At book club we have taken up the tradition of all reading books we want to read, not forcing each other to read genres or authors we don't like. It's a pretty good way of doing it because we all have such vastly different reading habits that we would never agree on only one book to read.
Some of the books read included: This Dark Endeavor by Kenneth Oppel, Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, Divergent by Veronica Roth, Beauty Queens by Libba Ray, and Sex on the Moon by Ben Mezrich which I now have!
For my book club selection I read an old favorite of mine, Pride and Prejudice. The thing that makes it different is that I read an electronic version on my new Kobo that I got for my graduation! I've read the book a few times before and it always keeps me entertained with the humour, good writing and wit. Although it is one of my favorite novels I always end up disappointed by the situations these fictional women are in. Make's me very glad to be born in my time!
So just a short post but as I am currently writing this from the Saskatoon airport it will have to be. Have a great day!
