50 Shades of Grey meeting

Recap of April 27th meeting:
We went to 5 Seasons Brewery and decided we didn't care for it as much as Apres Diem plus it was a little pricier... But we still enjoyed the cocktails and each other! We discussed 50 Shades of Grey with questions provided by Azia. We had a good debate over some of the characters. This was a much more opinionated meeting. Loved it :)  Grey is definitely worth talking about. I may have to get the 2nd book since Crystal said its way better than the first...
Next meeting will still be on the last Friday, May 25th even though it is Memorial weekend, mostly everyone said they can still make it and we will take it back to Apres Diem!
May's book is Left Neglected by Lisa Genova, if I can get a copy I will email it to you this week.

Alrighty girls, I had a blast once again. I am really starting to love our meetings! Our little getaway :) See ya'll next month.

I had an Announcements tab but I took it out and decided to put everything on this page...

Figured we could let each other know whats going on in our personal lives. Good news, bad news, etc...

Random book talk

So I have finished 50 Shades of Grey and am really excited about meeting this week to talk about it. I can't wait to hear what people have to say, this one is going to be fun. p.s. Azia is still going to bring some questions so be prepared. I know some of you have already read the whole trilogy but I don't think I am quite ready to move on to the second book yet. (I feel like I needed a PG book for a minute). I started reading Something Borrowed by Emily Giffin. The book is really good. The movie has been out for a while now and I heard it was straight so I am going to watch it once I finish reading. I think my new pattern is read the book watch the movie...  Although I don't think our next book has a movie made from it :(  Well peeps see you soon!

Hi girls! Welcome to our Books and Cocktails blog!!! This is our own personal blog and I have set it private for only members of Books and Cocktails to see what we post. I will keep adding pages to it as I figure out what else to put on here. Right now we have the "book of the month" page and a page for future readings. I will also add when and where we will be meeting each month. This should be a good way for us to communicate with each other especially if one of can't make it to one of the meetings. Any other ideas are most definitely welcome! Hope all are enjoying our current selection :) See you soon.
