"I Joined a Book Club"

I went to our monthly book club meeting and had a conversation which made me both laugh and get really annoyed at the same time.
Our hostess mentioned a brief encounter with the man behind the liquor counter.

Cashier (Male): So, are you having a party?
Hostess: Actually its for a book club meeting.
Cashier(Male): Yeah right...book club.

Now...at this moment I thought, sure I see the humour. BUT...we are an actual book club. We talk about books... A LOT. At our last meeting, we gave each member an "Expertise Area" to include but not limited to the following: Harry Potter, Twilight, Romance, Young Adult.
We even devised a book exchange system where we could read numerous books in addition to the monthly book club selection.

Are we book nerds? Yes.
Do we like to have wine with our words? Yes.
Do we get extremely offended when new members aren't really readers? YES!
Have we considered an application process for new inductees? YES!
Do we cringe when you say you haven't read the Harry Potter Series? YES

We are HARDCORE...and not in that way! But the Book way. Secretly we have named our book club...The Mean Girls BC. Join if you dare but beware, we find ways to accidentally lose members email addresses if you don't meet our criteria.

So if you read this and think...oh "Book Clubs" that's just an excuse for women to get together talk about men, and drink. You betcha mister! We are intelligent women who can talk about ment, books, and drink at the same time!
