Do you belong to a book club??? Book Clubs are the best. They give you an opportunity to discover new authors and books you would not have otherwise read. Add in the opportunity to talk about books and life with people you enjoy, what could be better??? I have been working to simplify my life in 2014 by reducing the number of things I am involved in, the Books and Babble book club will always remain!
In simplifying my life, I am also looking at reducing expenses. Book club is very inexpensive entertainment. Once a year, I host the club so I do incur expenses that month to cook for the group. Otherwise, the rest of the year is nearly free! Once the reading schedule it out, I reserve as many books as I can at the library. It is rare that I actually purchase a book. As for entertainment, I could pay to go to a movie or curl up and read a book for free! The obvious answer for me is to read with a nice cup of tea. Enjoying the simple things in life.
I am sharing with you our reading schedule for 2014 in hopes that you too will discover a book you would not have picked up otherwise!!
