Discussion #1: Summer Blowout

Alas! It’s time for discussion #1 for book #35, Summer Blowout by Claire Cook. If you have finished reading through chapter 16, we’d like to know your thoughts on these questions:

• Which character in Summer Blowout did you most identify with, and why?
• What needs are driving the affair between Sophia and Craig? (Okay, besides lust.)
• Do you know a guy with a comb-over like Lucky’s? (Other than The Donald, of course.)
• Even though he’s of Irish decent, Lucky Shaughnessy, the father in Summer Blowout, is a huge Italiophile. Do you think it’s common for someone of one ethnicity to think another culture is more glamorous?
• Are you worried about the fate of Precious/Cannoli? Why do you think Bella fell so hard for the little pooch? Do you believe in canine love at first sight?

Well? Tell us!

Discussion #1: Shoe Addicts Anonymous

Finally after a little break in the reading action we’re starting the first discussion on book #13, Shoe Addicts Anonymous. I’d like to keep this discussion focused on the first 7 chapters, if possible. How about a few starter questions:

• Does the formation of the ‘Shoe Addicts Anonymous’ club seem plausible?
• Will joining offer support for our 3 (4?) heroines?
• Is the storyline very believable with addiction to shoes?
• Do you think Steve should’ve been allowed to join? Was he unfairly snubbed?

As always, those are just questions I rattled off the top of my head. Feel free to discuss whatever you’d like, as long as there are no spoilers!
