One of my favorite things to do is read. I'm always reading random articles, poetry, instruction manuals, etc. I love reading with friends too. Some friends and I have formed a Book Club. What is a Book Club? A book club is when a group of people get together to discuss the same book. Even though I'm in Japan, my friends in America still find time to video chat me and discuss 3 chapters once a week.

I'm awestruck by my friends interpretations of the book. Sometimes there is symbolism in a story. What is symbolism? Symbolism is when a person, place or thing represents another object. My friends are much better at catching symbolic moments in stories than I am. I eagerly await their thoughts on a chapter.

I especially love it when a certain chapter puts all of us at the edge of our seat. "Edge of our seat" or "Edge of your seat" is a saying that describes when something is really suspenseful. We all giggle and can't help but express our excitement or shock.

After our little Book Club is over I end up feeling energized. I start looking forward to our next discussion. Overall, there is nothing sweeter than getting lost in a book. Especially when you're sharing a good book among friends!
