Last month our book club discussed The Help by Kathryn Stockett. To kick off the discussion we had a fun dinner with some courses similar to what they might have had at the time the book was set.
Amy and Gillian also made us some delicious 'terrible awful' pie. Theirs was 100% chocolate though, unlike Minny Jackson's from the book.
After dinner and pie we watched the movie version of The Help and had a great discussion of the story. It was really interesting to compare the movie and the book.
The very next night we got the opportunity to go to the Shakespeare in the Park showing of A Midsummers Night Dream.
It was a beautiful day to sit and watch the show.
Sometimes I am convinced we're actually a secret gang of book nerds rather than a regular book club.
The show was great and the acting was incredible, there were only 8 actors but there were many more characters portrayed.
Overall the night was truly wonderful and I cant wait to see these lovely ladies for the next book club!
