January ‘26 Sunday Funday Book Club FOllow Up

Hey y’all!

A morning movie in PJs with all the book clubs coming together in a weird snow storm – what more could we ask for? Some of you read the book. Some of us did not. I’m pretty sure everyone cried at some point, but like, in a good way.

Nikki’s Pairings—

A morning beer to take with you that I didn’t get the name of
The death water thingie in a can that I don’t remember the name of

Our next Sunday Funday Book Club meetup is February 22 at 10-noon at Great South Bay Brewery (Bay Shore) [if this ever changes, we will inundate you with messages and emails]. We are reading Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston.

Side hustle read: “Annabelle Lee” by Edgar Allen Poe

Side hustle watch: Beetlejuice and Romancing The Stone

Wrap-up of your discussion of A Man Called Ove / A Man Called Otto:

Dev. A. State. Ing. But, again, in a good way.

Quote of the Movie

“My god, the world is full of complete idiots who have managed to figure it out, and you are not a complete idiot.”

Game of the Month: 

We played What’s New Pussycat?

If you missed the game, name the cat or cat-adjacent thing:

Planes
Frown
Riverdale

Congrats to Bob for winning! He along with the top three scorers won prizes from the Grab Bag of Questionable Prizes, and those prizes did not disappoint! As in they were very disappointing, which is to be expected.

Also, if you want to play along again, Bob played trivia on his Talking Comics podcast.

Here's the soundtrack you did not create—it’s a random playlist from Spotify.

Reading Recs

None this time. We were busy drying our tears.

Our Future Meetups

Everything is here.

Of course, if you have book suggestions, send them my way. Yup, you can share this email and/or the links. Yes, invite whomever you wish to book club. No one needs to finish the book. Hope to see you at our future book chats. Bring your appetite for snacks, sips, and conversation. 

All good things,

Christina
