Page Turners Anonymous Book Club #16-Illegally Yours by Rafael Agustin

Hello!

Welcome to the sisteenth meeting of the Page Turners Anonymous book club! We are a super laid back book club focusing on unconventional books (Idk what this means but it sure doesn't mean the normal books you would read at any other book club!). For our sisteenth meeting we are going to have a nice change of pace! Illegally Yours by Rafael Agustin.

A comedic memoir by TV writer Agustin Rafael, in which his world is turned upside down when he realizes he is undocumented. This is a very timely and comedic look at a common issue bring brought up lately. This book is a joy as Agustin makes some of the most heartbreaking situations into comedic romps.

I want to emphasize that this is not a very high-stakes book club. What I mean by that is that I do not expect a doctoral thesis about the themes and symbology of the book. I just want you to focus on your favorite characters, scenes, and how you related to the book. This does not mean you can skate on by not reading the book. You are still expected to both contribute to the discussion and socialize with the other members. I think socialization and making friends with each other is the keystone to a good book club more so than the books.

We are going to meet at Ambitious Ales. They have an incredible selection of food and drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) provided by a huge variety of restaurants! I will reserve a seat for everyone. Please do try to arrive on time as it would make the discussion easier. I will get some pizzas from Thunderbolt Pizza!

Everyone is welcomed here! All I ask is that you are kind and respectful to others. Again, the foundation to a good book club are its members. So please lets just treat each other like good friends. You may be asked to leave the club if you do not follow these stipulations.

Note: Since this is a new meetup group we are capped at 10 attendees. So please honor your RSVP. A book club cannot thrive without active members. If you are on the waitlist please comment your interest. You are more than likely going to be able to attend the meeting but please again also honor your RSVP.
