Bling Book Club - anyone interested if I start one on here?

[pearaffair]

It’s a pandemic. Winter is Coming. I need reading and awesome people to chat with. Maybe you do, too?

I would post a book, you’d have a month to read it, then we would discuss in a thread on here. What do you think? Note: the books would have a focus on gems and/or jewellery!

If even one person is into it, I’ll start it up

I propose this as the first selection:

Stoned: Jewelry, Obsession, and How Desire Shapes the W…

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER As entertaining as it is in…

Yay! Thanks for joining

Let’s “meet” once a month- is November 1st ok for this next meeting, or would you prefer November 15th? I just figured that if we met on the first of each month, that could be easy to remember. I’ll post questions and any related materials and then we can chat about the book. I’m excited!

PS - I’m 3/4 of the way through this book and finding it to be pretty darn good.

So I bought the book, no guarantee I'll have it read by 1st Nov (it doesn't arrive till Sunday) but it looked interesting and I'm in!

 

[Blingloverbyday]

Ordered, it'll be here tomorrow. I think I can finish it by the 1st

Omg, yes! This sounds like so much fun!

There are also several Marne Davis Kellogg books (the Kick Keswick series) with a focus on jewelry. Nothing high literature, mind you, just fun whodunnits.
