I'm a flake. I will not deny that very basic fact about me. But lots of good things in life are flaky: croissants, um...dandruff? No, that's not one. Let's just stick to croissants. I'm a croissant...flaky, but tres chic!
I know I said we'd do our chat this week. Then the world as I knew it ended, I was prescribed anti-depressants to solve the problem, and suddenly nothing was as it ever had been before.
But I'm getting my shit back together. Really I am. At least I think I might be. I am...right?
Because Maura knows I'm a hopeless flake, she took it upon herself to find us a place where we can chat and possibly even a Insta-Book Club blog of our very own. She is the anti-flake.
So, I'm committing right here, right now. First of all, I'm committing to finishing this book that I am enjoying very much but that I stopped about halfway through and haven't had two seconds to pick up again (thank you, little league, for completely taking over my life and my minivan).
I am committing that by Monday morning, details of a chat, that will likely take place on Wednesday, will be posted here.
Are you still with me? I hope so.
Wednesday it is. Details to follow. I'll bring the croissants.

Chocolate croissants? :)
I have the book, I've had it for weeks, but I've not even opened it. Does that make you feel even a bit better? I told Maura that if I haven't read it, I'll just agree with everything she says. DO they make Cliff Notes for novels?
I've had the book, as well. I started the book and then I moved and now I can't find the book. I know I put it somewhere so it would be EASY to find, but I forgot what that easy place to find was. My mission is to find the book this weekend, and hopefully have it finished by Wed.
Don't know if I can promise to read the book... I have another neighborhood book club that I can barely commit to - but other than that, I'm a loyal Insta-Mom fan.
So glad you're doing better.
I haven't opened mine, either, but have carried it around the house waiting to start.
Glad you're feeling better!
I'll lurk from the sidelines, it's not very likely that I'll finish the book before Wednesday, but I'm there in spirit!
It's unanimous, we are all flakes ;-) I haven't quite read the book either. But, I'll try and I'd love to chat.
The important thing is that you are feeling better. Oh and croissants, those are important too.
Oh, Christ on a croissant, I'm the only one who's going to have actually read the book, aren't I?
Well, nothing says that we have to get through the whole thing at once, right? Maybe after we talk about it, people will be motivated to read more (or even some *looks at Issa*) of it by the next time we meet.
