Book Club

The group of mom's I hang out with started a Book Club. We just finished "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.

Second time I've read the book--thought it was brilliant.

One of the women in Book Club told me at a previous gathering that she was trying to potty train her 3-year-old daughter. She wasn't having much success. She was making the daughter wear her wet pull-ups on her head as punishment for not going potty in the toilet. I'm not kidding. I can't make this up.

This same woman said she didn't like Handmaid because it didn't have a final conclusion and that when she got to the Historical Notes at the end, she didn't get it.
