Monday 24 March – Book club babes


Current location: Bondi
11.11pm, Wrapping up book club. It was a cracker this month, although we were missing a few key people, and we were talking about The Invention of Wings. It was about two sisters who were some of the first women to speak out about the abolition of slavery in the 1800s, and should have been an awesome, interesting story. But I felt it was a bit of a missed opportunity, and the actual story of the sisters and their family was more interesting than this partly fictionalised one. However, it's definitely a page-turner, and taught me a lot about slavery in America. We had a great chat, lots and lots and lots of laughs and a huge amount of food and wine too, not to mention the beginnings of plans for a book club holiday, haha! Man, I love book club.
