The Sage Room Statutes

-Lisa

So if you're reading this post, it's probably because a) you're related to one of us and use our blog to check up on us, b) you stumbled across our website while looking for Thanksgiving stuffing recipes, or c) you love books, you're always looking for new material, and you might even be in a book club yourself (or wish you were). I just realized that those of you in Group C might be interested in knowing a little bit more about how our little book club operates. Thus far, we only have a few simple guidelines. Here they are in no particular order:

1. We take turns picking the book, one each month. It goes Erin, then Anna, then Lisa.

2. If it's your turn to pick the book, you must come to book club ready to announce your selection for the upcoming month.

3. Whoever picked the book hosts the next month. She can have it at her house and provide snacks/drinks, or she can call at the last minute and say she'd rather not mess with it and designate a coffee shop instead. Note: Snacks are not supposed to be fancy or difficult (even though Anna sets the bar high), as book club is never supposed to add stress to our lives.

4. We each start off answering three basic questions about the book: Did you like it? Would you read it again? Would you recommend it? From there, discussion takes off and goes where it will.

5. We meet on the last Tuesday of each month unless someone has a conflict. Then we enter into a long email volley attempting to find a new date (we're busy girls).

I think that's all we've got right now, but knowing us, we will continue to add rules until we need a book just to contain our book club rules. What can we say? We like structure. We like order. And we love The Sage Room!!!
