For the first time in my life I’ve joined a book club. It’s through my local gym and will be a lot of fun, but I’m not expecting the chosen books to be anything too deep or challenging to read. After all, book clubs are less about plot, structure and character arcs, and more about wine and cheese and gossiping about last week’s gym instructor, right?
Our book club book for September was This Summer will be Different by Carley Fortune, and I have to say it was a refreshing change to the classics I’ve been reading as part of this 100 Book Challenge. I couldn’t help making comparisons between the book club book and Madame Bovary, which was my 59th book in the challenge.
