Let's Read... Scaredy Cat

Hello book lovers! Let’s read and discuss – Scaredy Cat by Robin Alexander. Blake Taylor isn't the queen of horror, but she's certainly a member of the royal court. Blake has made a career out of writing novels that make her readers want to leave the lights on at night. What Blake's fans and very few people realize is that Blake Taylor is scared of her own shadow and just about everything else. After a family intervention, a case of writer's block, and the desire to be free of the confines of fear, she leaves New York and rents a house in Cypress Glade, Louisiana.

Quinn Scott, a local, is hired by Blake's agent to be a tour guide of sorts for her most famous and troublesome client. The job seems simple for a thousand bucks a month, but as she gets to know Blake, it's anything but easy. Birds, squirrels, broccoli, and dogs are fearsome creatures.

Find a comfortable spot, visit Cypress Glade, and watch as these two women learn to conquer fears that don't always go bump in the night. Be warned, a few feathers may fly . . . Contains mature themes

NOTE: It appears to be only available on Audiobooks, and it can be read on Kindle (You do not need a special Kindle...you can download a free app). I did see it listed on Amazon, but upon closer look, it is not the same book. And a different author. Amazon glitch. You might be able to find it at the library. ** I am listening to it on Audible, and the narrator is fabulous!

Facing fears is scary! And sometimes a bit funny! Jo Jo 😊

NOTES FOR MEETING

Please be prompt, at 6:30 pm Pacific, and plan to stay until we close out as a group or at 8:00 pm Pacific. We open with a short icebreaker within a few minutes of the start time, which is great for getting to know one another better. Arriving late or leaving early “individually” can distract the group discussion, so arriving on time and staying until 8:00 pm Pacific, is appreciated. We do occasionally stay later but if you need to bow out then, no worries. And…we could finish early. (Early has not happened, but I am just saying it could. Lol.)

* It is a social event so please have your video ON. It is also for transparency and peace of mind for all our members in this Zoom world.
