I finally dropped out when too many people seemed to have prejudices against other's choices, and I felt the books we read all seemed to fit under a dominant member's preferences.

Recently was invited to my first book club gathering where I was the one who wrote the book. One lady who hadn't read the book, but said she was really looking forward to it, kept interrupting whenever someone mentioned anything specific about the story, saying "please, no spoilers"!Vickie Feehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04117236123870072148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-22006335897672766852016-04-04T22:05:06.598-07:002016-04-04T22:05:06.598-07:00Oh no!

When the book discussion finally begins, Silly and Dilly, who never read the books other months, explain that the book they chose was about "an affair!" (one of the duet's husband was just like the bad hubby in the book.) Oh, I forgot to mention the title of the book "A Summer Affair"!!! They thought it was about a festival or fette. Go figure why I want to start a new book club with dedicated readers.
