Date and Time
The time is this Friday, December 17th at 2pm EST (Eastern Standard Time). Click here to figure out what time that is in your time zone.
You can also stay up-to-date and RSVP (if you’d like) on the Facebook group event:
About the event
You’re welcome to drop in and out whenever, and participate or just listen! It’s meant to be fun and relaxing, not a formal event.
Tentative Plan
– 15 mins – chatting and introductions!
– 20 mins – book-related games and polls
– 20 mins – prompts about our books of the month from 2021
About the Zoom room
- The passcode and link are in the Facebook book club and also our Vibely group. You can join from either.
- Video and audio are both turned off by default when you join, but feel free to turn them on if you are comfortable!
- Live automatic transcription is enabled if you have trouble hearing or understanding anyone.
- Breakout rooms are enabled so we could chat one-on-one with each other if you like!
- Not 100% sure but I don’t think you can call in – so you’ll have to download the Zoom app and use wifi. But no need to register or anything!
A little video for you
Lastly, I made a funky little video to announce the whole thing over on Instagram. You can check it out here. I particularly related to the audio and I’m so glad I found a way to use it despite my continuing refusal to create Reels with my face mouthing someone else’s words. 😉
There’s no avoiding this one… If that doesn’t work, try this:
See you on Friday and can’t wait to chat with you all!
Nice to meet you!

I’m participating in NaNoWriMo this year! National Novel Writing Month is a worldwide, virtual writing event during the month of November during which hundreds of thousands of people around the world set one goal for themselves: to write 50,000 words (a novel) in a month. That’s 1,667 every day. I first did Camp NaNoWriMo twice…
“Company” on Broadway in NYC
We decided to make our first night in New York City a Broadway night. I’m so glad we ended up choosing the musical “Company”… it completely blew me away! The story opens on the 35th birthday of Bobby, a bachelorette whose friends are all married couples. We then get to see vignettes of each couple’s…
what it means to be your own friend (feat. my last bathroom selfie in Goodes Hall)
Earlier today I took what will likely be my last bathroom selfie in Goodes Hall. (Hopefully in equal part because I’ll grow out of it and because I’m about to graduate from undergrad. 😋) Isn’t it an amazing feeling to be fascinated by an area of study? The utter excitement that comes along with it!…
