Let’s see, besides being FREAKING HILARIOUS and a generous spirit, Dani Stone also reads. What’s not to love? Join me in giving an atta-babe and mimosa toast to Chapter 2 queenB Dani Stone and her Rebel Book Club in Wichita, Kansas. Can’t wait to hear more from you gals!

1. How often do you all meet? Currently we meet once a month. I know that might sound like alot to other groups but it really makes you work hard to carve out time to read when you know you only have 30 days to do it.

2. Where do you meet? We take turns meeting at each other’s homes. When I send out the nominations for the next month’s book I ask for volunteers to host. I like your idea of doing it at a restaurant though at some point, maybe somewhere that has a private party room to keep the mess at bay.

3. What books in the past have sparked great discussion? We’ve only met twice. Our first two books were The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and Jennifer Weiner’s latest, Best Friends Forever. Lust Lizard provided an interesting discussion because it was so odd and different from anything we’d ever read. Books that have moved us individually and sparked “mini discussions” at nomination time include, “Lovely Bones,” “My Sister’s Keeper,” and “The Red Tent.”

4. What are you reading now? Burn. I’m not quite done and we meet in less than 2 weeks so I need to get on it!! So far I’ve only heard one negative grumbling about it so I’m excited to get everyone together and talk it over.

5. What do you all eat/drink at your parties? Though I was in a previous book club that served elaborate potlucks and even themed meals, we’ve kept it very low key in the form of appetizers and wine. Anything that can be dipped with a chip or a spread on a cracker is the usual fare including a new concoction created by fellow founder, Stacie Unruh that we simply call, “Hella-Good Dip.” It’s cream cheese, Raspberry Chipotle grilling sauce and black beans, baked until it’s bubbly and hot. Delish!

6. What do you love best about your book club? The members of my bookclub are lighthearted, fun and often a little outlandish. From the beginning our motto has been, “we don’t judge.” If you want to come to bookclub in sweatpants carrying a bag of Fritos because you’ve had a bad day, that’s okay. As long as you come with an open mind, an open heart, ready to listen and laugh, you’re going to be welcomed with open arms and a full glass.

Thanks, Dani! You can connect with Dani’s club by following them on Twitter. See our TwitterBEbabes directory for all the info. I hope Dani has inspired you to start up a chapter of BEbabes in your area. It’s easy! Just pop over to the Book Club page for the deets, use the invite we’ve supplied on the page and invite your girlfriends, co-workers or other interesting gals for a girls night out with great reads at least every other month.
