The Humans (Plus a Painting Party!)


Erin brought a delicious buffet of foods and all the painting supplies we needed for a special evening of book discussion and painting at Becky's house.  Erin happens to be a talented entrepreneur and has started her own business Painting With Erin.  She has got it going on!  We were so excited to partake in one of her fabulous group painting experiences.

Plus, the book she chose was really unique and fun to discuss.  The Humans by Matt Haig was definitely an interesting read!

Points of Discussion:

  • I think we all enjoyed this book, which is rare in our group because we all have such different tastes!
  • We liked seeing humans from the perspective of an outsider (alien) and found his observations funny, heart-warming, or heart-breaking in turn.
  • Some thought the ending might be too predictable or tidy, yet we were left not knowing a few things.
  • We talked about what it really means to be human, and to love.

Fun Facts:
This is not fun- but it was our last meeting with Jessica.  We all care so much for her and have loved having her as part of this group.  We are going to miss you, Jessica!
Also not fun- we missed El at this meeting and hope she is feeling better!
(Good grief, I need to rename this section SAD Facts!)
Painting!  It was relaxing for some, stressful for others, but we were all happy with how our paintings turned out!
Nancy knows how to add the perfect amount of "whimsy."
There were lots of other funny things, but I didn't write them down and then I slept.  I'll make up for the absence by adding lots of great photos!
