As always (online or in-person), our meeting was really nice. I was really looking forward to hosting the event at my place, including making some Mexican(-dutch) snacks, but unluckily due to the latest restrictions, we decided to meet online. Surprisingly, the book that got more votes was Like Water for Chocolate ( Como agua para Chocolate)” by Laura Esquivel. In our next meeting, I brought up my suspense mystery choices and the extra option. Besides, in case they like the book, we could eventually also enjoy another “Tic Book Club-Movie” together. Then, when I was looking for the options, I also remembered that they wanted to read something “different”, “not too American” (because they have read a lot of those), so I decided to include an “extra” book that was popular in my country (México). It was my turn to make the book selection and when we were discussing about what would be nice to read, the conclusion was that 3 suspense/mystery books will be a nice shift.
