The Literary Cupcake

On August 6, 2009 my facebook status read: [Lina]…thinks she should start/join a book club so she can say, “I HAVE to have time to read honey, I need to read this for book club!”

I was surprised at the response this status update received, not only from my friends here in North Carolina but also from my friends and family in other states! I knew shortly after making that statement this was something I had to do (even if I was not totally serious about the idea when I posted it).

If you know me well, you know I am not exactly the leader type. I should say, I never was the leader type. I think I’m coming around a little because when friends and family from all over started asking me about the club: what book are we reading?, when are we meeting?, can we join?, etc. I knew I had to get this thing going and I had to get it online.

So, here we are, “The Literary Cupcake”!

OK, so that is not our official name, but since the cupcakes I served at the first meeting were such a hit my husband thought I should use it in the name.  Trust me “The Literary Cupcake” was better then his idea of “Books and Cupcakes”.  I figure it will do for now as a place holder and we can discuss options for a name change in up coming posts.

Until then, Welcome! I hope you will join us on our literary journeys!
