On Thursday, when chatting with a bestie during our reading night, I was so smug that I was 2 books ahead for two of my book clubs. I could read …Bookclub, Buddies and Brooding I blogged about book club on today’s post from the other me.
LBC 3 Reads
LBCZoom Baby, Zoom!
We did it! We successfully book clubbed via zoom! And I think we spent pretty much the same proportion of the conversation discussing the book, film adaptations, random unrelated things and in speechless fits of laughter as usual. So that's great! I will attempt to do a write up. Honest. I will!

Our beloved #LBC3Reads venue - @Cafe164 - turns 8 years old next month. It's hard to imagine!

The cafe now has its … Continue reading PHOTOS – Cafe 164
