What we’re about

Hey bookworms!📚 Welcome to the Columbia Book & Bites Club! We’re a bunch of laidback book-loving folks who like to chat, laugh, and maybe even get a little silly over a good read. We’re all about inclusivity, so no judgement zone here! Even if you haven’t read the current book, come join us for some drinks and snacks - we’re always down to meet new people.

Our meetings are usually once a month depending on how thick the book is (no judging if you skim!) You have the chance to pick the venue and the book we read next by attending a meeting - our founding members are happy to share their hosting duties. Plus, we’ve got a few killer book lists from some seriously long-lasting book clubs (like, 60 years!), if you’re looking for inspiration. So what are you waiting for? Join now and come hang out with us! 😀

This meeting will be held on January 11th starting at 1:00pm at Fulin’s Asian Cuisine in Spring Hill. Please let me know ASAP if there are any conflicts with this date. We are flexible and willing to work around busy schedules if you want to attend.

Enjoy a Satuday afternoon with some of the greatest ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure to call friends…and I’d never have met them if not for this Book Club!

Breif description of the book:
Nitta Sayuri tells us in a voice, at once haunting and startlingly intimate telling of her life as a geisha. Her story begins in a poor fishing village in 1929, when, as a nine-year-old girl with unusual blue-gray eyes, she is taken from her home and sold into slavery to a renowned geisha house. We witness her transformation as we enter a world where appearances are paramount; where a girl's virginity is auctioned to the highest bidder; where women are trained to beguile the most powerful men; and where love is scorned as illusion.

It is a unique and triumphant work of fiction - at once romantic, erotic, suspenseful - and completely unforgettable.
