My favorite group got together last night. TCBC, or Tuscaloosa Coolest Book Club, had our monthly dinner. I started up the book club about 2 years ago when The Help first came out. We have lost a few members and gained a few over the time, but we have always had a great time. Oh, yeah, and sometimes we read a book and talk about it. Wes jokes that we are the most non-reading book club ever, but we just went through that one phase where we saw movies for a few months last year :).
This month, we read the second and third books in The Hunger Games series. Next month we will go see the movie, so a month without a book, and so we had to get the full story read before the movie. I love The Hunger Games series if you are looking for a book to read right now!
But, what I wanted to talk about was the food we had. We ate dinner at Mellow Mushroom. This is a chain but the one in Tuscaloosa always has a good quality of food. The servers are often times less than attentive and the food can come out slowly. But, if you have been before, then you know that going in, right? FYI, the Kosmic Karma pizza is awesome!!
After dinner we walked across the street to Sweet Cici's. This was their first night open and we got free yogurt. There is really nothing better than that, right? This is one of the self serve yogurts places where you put your own toppings on too. How is this one different? Well, it had a fun and festive vibe. Bright colors, fun decorations, and a cheerful spirit. And the toppings might have a little more variety than some of the other locations in town. They are displayed really nicely in tubes and the fresh fruit is supposed to be local. Mine was great. But, it seems to be really similar to the other options in town. I am excited they have outside tables and free wi-fi. I see this being an afternoon work spot in my near future on pretty days!!
How would I join this Book Club?
