Meeting? What meeting?

WOW! Thanks to technical errors I'm 2 weeks late on my blog! So embarrassed!!! Sorry peeps! But I'm back and in full force!!


Quelene and I with our Chocolate Martinis

So, LAST Monday, 6 June, was our Bookclub meeting, the second one that I have attended, at Tribecca in Brooklyn. It was great to see all the familiar faces again plus our 2 new members: Quelene my gorgeous friend and Corrie the awesome guy.....the Only guy! Poor guy, but I think he can handle it! Its not easy being around a few females, and all us bookclub girls......Good Luck Corrie!!

Corrie and Melissa

We had so much fun at the Bookclub meeting. I was so happy when all the girls accepted Quelene into Bookclub and Corrie too! Then the books came out.....
They looked Fabulous!! Some of the books, like mine, are falling apart! and some, like Michelle's, are so cute and creative....I think this was the best book choice ever!!! Thanks Jess, or should I thank Michelle?
Anyway, we started signing every one's books, and even got our, gay, waiter to sign! Awesome! And then.... the sunglasses came out as well as Melissa trying to nipple pinch the wall......I blame the cocktails....
And I would just like to point out to Robin that This is Not a Booze Club, we actually read...and stuff.....

Melissa with her sunglasses - showoff!

For some reason Melissa had to pinch the boobie wall! Or should I say try...


No seriously, I love bookclub as we learn about each other and the different genre's we don't usually read.....it's a great experience! For instance, the next book we will be reading is 'Confessions of a shopaholic' by Sophie Kinsella, which might be what I am, but its not the type of book I would usually read, but I'm sure I will enjoy it! I have ordered but am still waiting for it to be delivered. Which brings me to another subject.....waiting....and waiting for books to be delivered! I have ordered a book, from Exclusive Books, about a month ago.....and I'm still waiting for it.....its kinda frustrating! I mean, how long does it take to get a book from the publishers and then send it to the right store? Oh and let me just mention the book was Released 2 months ago but still not yet in stores! Am i the only one having this problem? Is it karma?.....Curse you Murphy!!!

Jess and Terry, striking a pose

So I now have 4 weeks to read the book, which is no problem, before the next Bookclub meeting. And dear Michellie has given us a task....write a short story on a piece of clothing you bought, didn't need but bought anyway, and how it has affected our lives good or bad! No doubt I will be posting my story here on this very blog....so keep your eyes peeled!

My dear book being harassed by every one's lips....except Corrie!

Until next time book lovers,
Marion 'Vlooi' Hart*
