What we’re about
Welcome to Lit Happens. We are a book club specifically for females who enjoy a wide range of books and are looking to read, then discuss the book in a safe, fun, and positive environment.
The books we read will mainly be fiction and will include various genres except romance and science fiction. We will generally meet on the fourth Monday of the month. Location will be a restaurant setting in Lake County, Illinois and we might rotate locations as we hear about new places.
I will pick the book for the first two months (September and October). After that, I’d like the group to decide what books we read. Each book will be selected at least two months prior to the meeting. You may choose to read or listen to the book via audiobook.
I will attempt to get physical copies that can be checked out from the Grayslake Library. However, you may get your copy wherever or however you’d like.
We will start by discussing the book. But who knows where our conversations will take us. Let’s read, discuss, and make new friends! We look forward to meeting you!

About the Book:
Imagine a year without Christmas. No crowded malls, no corny office parties, no fruitcakes, no unwanted presents. That’s just what Luther and Nora Krank have in mind when they decide that, just this once, they’ll skip the holiday altogether.Theirs will be the only house on Hemlock Street without a rooftop Frosty, they won’t be hosting their annual Christmas Eve bash, they aren’t even going to have a tree. They won’t need one, because come December 25 they’re setting sail on a Caribbean cruise. But as this weary couple is about to discover, skipping Christmas brings enormous consequences—and isn’t half as easy as they’d imagined.
