Tonight was Kristen’s last night at book club. I’ve mentioned before, she is moving to California and I’m so sad. She is a dear friend and has lead our book club for the past 2 1/2 years. She is one of my favorite readers and has picked such a wide variety of books to challenge our group. She keeps me on my toes and keeps me from falling in to a reading rut. I haven’t loved everything we’ve read, but I have loved the adventure.

I was quite devastated to think that our book club was going to dissolve with Kristen’s move.  She absolutely shocked me by asking to take over the reigns. I want to keep it going and she has given me an amazing list of books for the future but those are some mighty shoes too fill and I’m aware I’m not fully equipped. I will simply be the figure head and she will keep running it from California….but she has “passed the crown” and I’m certain this means I get to wear a tiara now when I read.
