Come As You Like

If you know Brittany at all, then you know she can't pass up a chance to dress up as something!  She decided to ask everyone to dress up as a character from their favorite (or well-liked) book and have everyone try to match their characters to the books we brought. We had a small turn-out but the costumes did NOT disappoint! haha

We walked in the door and were immediately surprised by this guy:

Carrie dressed as the father from The Road.  She played a really good nomad, but without the smell. 

 

Melissa dressed up as Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With The Wind.  She loves period pieces and brought her well worn copy of the novel.

Brittany came as Tris from Divergent.  Don't worry, no photographer was harmed during the photo shoot!

 

We have added a few new faces to Book Club this year!  This is Jenni, Carrie's friend whom she met through their husbands' work.  She came as the dog from The Art Of Racing In The Rain.  She didn't really want to be a dog, but eventually gave in!

 

We also welcomed Stacey, a neighbor of Brittany's, who dressed up as Lyra from The Golden Compass.  It was interesting to hear the differences between England and the U.S. surrounding the book.



 

We played a really fun game called Buzz Word, and don't have any pictures because Brittany would have killed the person who stopped playing long enough to take one.  Just know that everyone left a winner! ;)  Here is our fun group--and we hope more of you can make it next time!  (Big thanks to Nathaniel, the paparazzi photographer.)

 

The book we are now reading is The Zookeeper's Wife, and Melissa Young will host February's meeting.  Happy reading!
