I had been wanting to start a book club for a long time, but didn't know a lot of people who had the passion for reading as I did. I met Amy Myrick through her husband, Justin. I work with Justin at Travelers Insurance. Somehow through our conversation we started talking about books. I mentioned it to her a couple of times that I would love to start a book club and would she want to be part of it.
So I invited a few friends from work (Cynthia) and some of my friends that I had come to know very well through our husbands (Emily and Karen). Our first meeting last August was small--I think there were only five of us: me, Amy, Emily, Karen, and Cynthia. From there, Emily invited her good friend Angela. Nancy, my neighbor,heard through my friend and neighbor Karen that I had started a book club and asked to join. Amy invited her neighbor Rachel and then also her friend Jaci. I invited Sarah from work because she and I were obsessed with Harry Potter.
We have grown to be a group of 10 women from all walks of life: One Canadian, two farmgirls from Iowa, two redheads, one teacher, three native Coloradoans, and one Catholic (that I know of).
