This is my beloved Cleo Book Group. Clever Ladies Educating Ourselves, Clever Ladies Eating Out, Clever Ladies who are Eccentric and Original. They all fit.
As someone who has been in MULTIPLE book groups I know when I find something unique and THIS one is. I've been plagued with inconsistent half-hearted attempts with book groups who pick the worst possible books imaginable with people who don't mesh, click or connect. Cleo is something completely different. I view it as my own personal Algonquin Round Table. Books that would have been mediocre reads have become some of my favorites because of the women I have shared them with. They have brought books I never would have read, insights I would have never thought of and countless laughs, giggles, and howls. These women challenge me, bring wisdom, and enrich my life for the better. So on our two year anniversary I celebrate these beautiful clever exceptional women.

You seriously look like you are 15 years old in that picture.
Sounds like a fun group!
Not really the look I'm going for. I AM the youngest by 2 months but mature beyond. :P :)
So what's the story behind your group? How did you find each other?
It was a random collision of friend of a friend mixed with friend's co-worker's sister, combined with ex-neighbor's scout leader, and some girl we picked up at Borders. and thus CLEO was born. None of us really knew each other before we started and now I can't imagine my life without them.
Great story!
