"Divergent" {by Veronica Roth} Couples Book Club Ideas

AUGUST COUPLES BOOK CLUB:

For this month's book we picked Veronica Roth's new dystopian book, "Divergent" which is an action packed page turner from start to finish. (At least, that's what I thought about it but I'm excited to see our official book club review of the book will say!)
Having the guys join our meeting this month made for some really interesting discussions and I think most of us walked away feeling like we really got into the "nitty gritty" of Roth's writing and the world of Divergent.

"Enders Game" {by Orson Scott Card} Couples Book Club Idea

Okay, I going to be honest with you.
I'm going to admit that I was secretly REALLY worried about this couples book club meeting.
I was worried that the boys wouldn't "get it."
I was worried they might poke fun at how we do things and how much WE love it.
I was worried that once they got home after book club they'd say, "...and you LIKE going to book club?"
I was worried...
...all for NOTHING!
The boys that were able to come were awesome!! 
They all seemed to enjoy the meeting, the food, the discussion, the games...everything!
 (Especially the food and Nerf guns!)
The meeting went flawlessly,
 All thanks to Bethany and Reece!
The "Enders Game Jeopardy" Game you came up with was genius!
It was SO MUCH FUN to play and I know everybody LOVED the "Daily Doubles!"
(Nerf guns are hard to shoot straight!)
