Staceyann Chin's Poem About Equality & Our March

BOOKS.GIRLS.COCKTAILS is an international network of women dedicated to collectively reading and discussing the works of engaging female authors.

Here's how it works:...
1. Each month the members of BGC (invited via FACEBOOK) choose a book and correlating cocktail to post as an event on FB. Toward the middle to end of every reading cycle BGC members should post a suggested book (title and description) and correlating cocktail. The book for the next month will be chosen based on the amount of "likes" each post receives.

2. Each BGC member who joins the event should immiediately purchase and begin reading the book for that month and ALSO invite ALL of her female friends to the event as well as post a status and tag BOOKS.GIRLS.COCKTAILS.

3. As each BGC member reads the book they should post a statuses about BGC and the book (please tag the event: this will allow the post to be viewed on your page and news feed as well as on the page of the event.)

4. At the end of the month, local cohorts should plan a social gathering for more in-depth discussion and fun. (the event should include the book's "theme cocktail" AND lots of pictures to post!)

5. We will read 1 book every 30 days. It's not too late to start reading and participating!
*February's book is "The Other Side of Paradises" by Staceyann Chin our cocktail is Jamacian Fizz. The Chicago cohort will get together:

Thurs March 3 @ 7:000PMJa'Grill Restaurant and Lounge
1008 West Armitage Avenue
Chicago, IL 60614
Who's coming?!?

Any other regions planning to meet?

If you haven't finished (or started) the book, catch up! Make sure you've done your reading though because it will be a lively discussion and there will be a trivia with prizes to win.

ALSO, its time pick our book for March so we need all BGC Members to post a suggestion and vote on (like) your favorite choice! Remember the book just needs to be written by a female author.
