In February of 2021 I read a book by Annie F. Downs called, “That Sounds Fun”. It was a huge motivation for me to start a summer book club- just for June, July, and August of ’21. God led me to a bunch of ladies who were just as interested in reading books together as I was. We’ve had some ladies come and go, but there’s been four of us who have stuck with it for over a solid year now! Something that was going to be summer fun turned into a year of fun and keeps going!

Our friend hosted us on her screened in back porch the other night. There is nothing like sitting outside on a hot night, taking in all the sweetness of summer. We got to witness the pink hues of the sun setting over the mountains, and the bugs serenading us. Sipping tea and munching on chocolate cake, our discussion flowed easily from “Miss Buncles Book” to “The Swiss Family Robinson”. As the evening got darker, the little lights strung on the porch got brighter. There is never a shortage of laughter in our little Book Club! I’m so glad God delights in us having FUN! This little hobby of mine has brought a fulfillment of something I didn’t even know I needed. Fun is really important.

**In case you’re wondering, for September we’re reading, “The Magician’s Nephew” by C.S. Lewis.
