Alice’s Book Club – WINTER session of 2025

“Reading gives life more life.”
Before the astronomical winter it is completely over in our part of the world, on Wednesday (March 19, 2025) I was happy to be able to organize the winter session of the year for the Book Club of our Circle.
I truly enjoyed the company of those 16 beautiful and intelligent ladies, and together (using an open voting system) we chose three books this time (yes, you’ve heard it well…3 books were chosen to read as a group), books which we will discuss (together) by the end of the year….needless to say how interesting those sessions are!
On the other hand, while at this page, I would like to quickly mention again few valid points the scholars usually emphasize in their papers about the benefits of reading (in essence, why it helps to read at least a bit every day):
 - Reading books allow readers to gain better insights into human nature (you could gain interesting and helpful knowledge that never can be taken away from you)
- Readers become more sensitive to the emotions of other people, quality which seems to disappear in today’s world
- Good literature of any language improve and expand the comprehension skills; also, at the same time, by considering all the aspects involved, you could become even more versed with your critical and analytical thinking (the more skills you have, the better equipped you are to tackle any challenges that sometimes life might present). Additionally, a well written novel could 'transport' you to different places, while an engaging article might distract or keep you in the present moment allowing relaxation to occur. 
- A book always stimulates the brain (amazingly enough, through reading new brain pathways are created and the existing ones become even stronger, facts that assist with the short-term memory recalls as well as mood stabilization).  
So, dear friends, please be kindly reminded that the journey of a life time starts with the turning of a page. 
Once again, I am grateful to share that it is a true delight to continue to stay in touch with likeminded fellows who are passionate about arts and culture, about reading and harmonious conversations. Until next time, dear beautiful readers and members of our Book Club, my warmest regards to each of you!
Alice

Cu drag, Felicia! Mă bucur mult că ai putut participa! Am fost un grup mare, cu o energie fantastică și discuții extrem de interesante! Pe perioada celor 7 ani de existență a Cercului, în cadrul grupului nostru s-au format deja niște obiceiuri foarte frumoase, sănătoase și de bun gust....o să continuăm să le păstrăm căci ne sunt la toate de folos!
Până la proxima revedere, de la mine numai bine!
Alice
