Book Club

Went to my first book club yesterday, was curious and excited at the prospect of a bunch of women coming together and sharing their views on the book of choice as well as other things they have read or been reading. I was also keen to see what else came up in conversation, (needless to say I was not disappointed in the range) topics covered included:

• Birthing (the books, the classes, the hype, the hippies and the mystique, amongst other things)
• Writing - just how gruelling it is, writers who seem to have mastered it and those that haven't (e.g - men who write about breast feeding)
• Motherhood - full time, part time, highs/lows, super mums, and the eternal search of finding the balance 
• The pluses and minuses of having another child
• Communal living - the  good, bad and challenging
• Meditation with kids  
• Roller derby-ing
• Sibling relationships in adulthood 
• Parties, weddings and holidays

Not bad really !
