Thank you for joining up with this group, founded to read and discuss virtually. Because I just bought it and wanted kinship in the reading, we are starting out with Eat, Pray, Love. Friends, I've never been in a book club before, so if any of you actually have, please feel free to take charge with format or discussion leads! I'm not the fastest reader, so I was thinking somewhere around 50 pages a week--does that sound good to everyone? It's 334 total pages. This is a no pressure, no judgment, no editing zone. It's for fun and to delve deeper into themes and relevance to our lives. Please don't worry about spelling, I'm the queen of typos.
I'm so happy that you all have decided to join, please introduce yourselves however you feel like doing so. I'll start: I'm Pamela, I'm approaching my 48th birthday, and I am not a mom. I bring this up because it takes me out of many opportunities to make friends, and it probably impacts my reading choices. Some of you know me very well, some of us haven't laid eyes on each other since we were kids (Carol!). But I'm very happy to have all of you back in my life!
