Delicious Reads: "The Art of Racing in the Rain" {by Garth Stein} Book Club Ideas

For our July book club meeting we read and discussed,
"The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein.

Shalease was our fearless moderator starting our book club ENGINES running with a fun trivia 'RACE game!'
There were two teams answering book trivia questions trying to get to the FINISH LINE first but there can only be one winner...

{The game and table set up}

...and the WINNERS who reached the FINISH LINE first were...................

"Boo-yeah", my team!!
{no thanks to me!}

Getting some delicious Italian inspired "la buona cucina" before our book discussion.

"Molto delizioso"

The room was divided almost in half with "dog people" and "non-dog people" which made for interesting discussion!
If you didn't know, I am an avid "DOG PERSON." Maybe you've seen one of my dozens of dog pictures that I post daily on Facebook....I may have a problem.

The MANY faces of Cassandra, Bethany and Kitch!
In the first picture I told them to act like they were racing.
In the second picture I told them to smile.
And in the third picture I told them to be silly.
They are all adorable.
