I have read Bridget Jones’ Diary and Haven Kimmel’s memoirs.
Now, I want to warn you that one of the genres that I am least qualified to review is comedy. I read less than half of it in the evenings, after getting into bed. I admit that I had already started some of the books on my list, though I knew this when I set my goal of 50, so… I started Me Talk Pretty at a writing residency, which means that I started it before the Pandemic, in the fall of 2019. I just finished #4 of 50, Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. I easily typed in 50 titles and said I would get to work at the end of the school year. But how perfect could this be?! The point is to set your own reading list with the stipulation that these books have to be on your bookshelf already and I have hundreds of books to catch up on (with a read or re-read). And it’s not especially easy to manage, either (you have to write a message updating your original message every time you finish a post, that is, after you find it again). After joining any number of book groups that offered book clubs and playing around with the idea of actually joining, I came across a subset of a book club on Goodreads: Under the 2022 Reading Challenge (which I set for myself every year I am currently 13 titles behind pace), in the Annual Challenges category, is the Clear the Shelves book club. Anyhow, I was looking for a book club even though I shouldn’t have been: trying to crawl my way out of the Pandemic hole. Soon, I’ll be bringing all those ideas together for you. On the other hand, I have many book club ideas, some of them already listed on The Starving Artist. If anything, I should host book clubs because I know exactly what I want to read for the year (all mapped out in my dot journal) not to mention the rest of my life, so whenever a book club assigns a book not on that comprehensive list, I’m like why am I here? I can’t afford the time for this. A few months ago, I was looking to join a book club.
