The Casual "Drop-in-if-You've-Read-the-Book" Club (Travel Read)

1) Bring your book + a pen + a journal + your chatty self.

2) We should all be finished with the book by the time we meet. So buy the book & get reading!

3) The $4 is just to hold your spot & keep you accountable. It's an incentive for you to commit to your RSVPs and show up (otherwise, you lose $4). Plus, you’ll have access to UNLIMITED FREE COFFEE & TEA! 🫖☕️🍵

Selected Book:
The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter, and Tears in Paris at the World's Most Famous Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn (Amazon Link to the book here).
If you'd like to support a local, independent woman-owned bookstore, I chatted with Octavia's Bookshelf in Pasadena, and while this is not typically a book they'd carry on their shelves, they will order it for you if you call in and request it--but keep in mind, it can take up 2 weeks for them to get it for you.

"I can never get enough of true stories about people who stop in the middle of life's journey to ask, 'What do I really want?' and then have the guts to actually go get it. Kathleen Flinn's tale of chasing her ultimate dream makes for a really lovely book—engaging, intelligent, and surprisingly suspenseful." —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love
