Book Club

I have loved being in a book club. I have enjoyed expanding

my reading library, the mind opening discussions,

and making sweet and lasting friendships.

One book club that I happened to document was our

discussion of the book "Team of Rivals".

This book delves deeply into Abraham Lincoln's

life and political career before and after he was elected

president. The book also studies the lives and

personalities of Lincoln's running mates and those he

chose to put in his cabinet to work and council beside him.

This book is a monster, super long, intense vocabulary,

every sentence loaded with information. Kinda like reading

a textbook. The only way I was able to get through it was to

listen to a bulk of it on CD on my commutes to work. I learned

so much about how great a man Abraham Lincoln was, a unique

combination of strength and humility. I wouldn't have pick this

book up if it weren't for my book club, but Im glad that I did

and that my mind and understanding has been expanded

because of it. Thank you ladies.

I pulled out everything that I had that

was patriotic to decorate and make our meeting special.

they had a raffle and gave out way cool prizes. We had a

soup buffet, I made a spicy tomato. Sour cream and blue

chips made that all american too.
