Meet Me in St Louis is a favorite Christmas movie.

The Secret History, The Devil in the White City, All The Light We Cannot See should be movies.

DieAReader, Andrew65, GHABI4ROSES

Andrew65 A great choice and I bet those would make great movies ☃️🎅🏼🎄 2y

EadieB @Andrew65 I'm sure they would! 2y

Andrew65 I‘ve still not read The Secret History 🙈 2y

Meet Me in St. Louis: A Trip to the 1904 World's Fair | Robert Jackson

Who‘s interested in a StL meetup at The London Tea Room? I‘m thinking maybe a Sunday in June or July? We could do a high tea service or just hang out and grab a scone or something for a cheaper choice. Who‘s in?

MaureenMc, mabell, DiruVamp, Daisey, tpixie, sprainedbrain, LibrarianRyan, Chrys, moarbookspleaze, Bklover, goktrose, sammisho, abbsinwonderland, booklvr39, DebBates101

rjsthumbelina Oh me! I'm from Jefferson County! I didn't know there were any other StL littens! 7y

Amabear Mannnnn I wanna be there 😂 have fun! 7y

rjsthumbelina Also: are the tagged people all from the StL area too? (As I manically follow all of you...) 7y

sprainedbrain Oooooh! I would love to, but I wouldn‘t be able to make a StL trip until July. Ya‘ll don‘t have to wait for me, though. @rjsthumbelina I‘m actually 4 hours away in Iowa, but I‘m an honorary StL resident during baseball and hockey seasons (soooo... all the time). 😂 7y

sammisho Dang, St. lLouis is a bit too far for me to make it this summer. But I am intrigued by this London Tearoom you mention! 7y

sammisho @rjsthumbelina KC girl here! 7y

DiruVamp Let me look at my calendar 😉 7y

tpixie Thanks for the invite, the place looks gorgeous and a #LitsyMeetUp sounds like a blast! I can‘t come in June or July and I live in Hutchinson Kansas so St. Louis is pretty far away. St. Louis is a great place though! (edited) 7y

Daisey The London Tea Room sounds like a great place for a meet up; I think I was there once visiting a friend. I live closer to KC, but I have family/friends near St. Louis and might be able to make it during the summer. I‘ll just have to wait and see once a date is decided. 7y

Bklover @rjsthumbelina I‘m in the metro-east. Just followed you!!! 7y

LibrarianRyan July I'm in. June might be hard to do. But I love the idea. 7y

LibrarianRyan @rjsthumbelina not STL but gives me a reason to go. 7y

mabell July would be best for me, and either ordering a la carte or doing afternoon tea would be great. Thanks for planning this! @rjsthumbelina STL city! I may win the prize for closest to the London Tearoom 😂 7y

MaureenMc I could do June or July, depending on the particular Sunday. 😊 Looking forward to another Litten meet-up! 7y

DebBates101 Im in! I can do june but I am fine w/ waiting until july so @sprainedbrain can make it 7y

DebBates101 @Genstl3 7y

readinginthedark @rjsthumbelina @sprainedbrain @DiruVamp @Daisey @Bklover @LibrarianRyan @mabell @MaureenMc @DebBates101 @Genstl3 It sounds like July will work best for the largest number of people! How about...July 15? I picked that randomly, so another Sunday would work for me too. My Saturdays are a bit crazier. 7y

readinginthedark @rjsthumbelina I‘m actually in St. Peters, but it‘s close enough to drive in and hang out! ❤️ 7y

readinginthedark @Daisey I‘ll be in KC the first weekend of August, I think, for my brother‘s production of The Wizard of Oz. If this doesn‘t work out, maybe we can arrange a meet-up then? 7y

sprainedbrain @readinginthedark I think I can make that work! 7y

readinginthedark @tpixie I didn‘t realize you were so far! Are you closer to KC then? 7y

readinginthedark @sammisho It‘s a nice place! Really good tea and treats. I‘ve never gone for the full tea service before. I might be in KC at the beginning of August; we should try to meet-up then! 7y

readinginthedark @Amabear Next time? 😉 (edited) 7y

Bklover July 15 sounds good. I will have to see what my $$ situation is at that time so I will have to wait to be sure. 7y

tpixie @readinginthedark yes KC is 3 hours away. Possibly I could do a KC meet up. We did one in April and it was fun! Try to keep me posted! Just in case!! @Daisey @sammisho I think I have other KC names from the meet up. 7y

rjsthumbelina I think that date works for me - but it'll just be about how much money I have at that point, since it's summer and I work as a paraprofessional in a school (so no summer pay!) My summer job doesn't pay as well 7y

mabell July 15 sounds good to me! 7y

MaureenMc I could do July 15. 😁 7y

DebBates101 @rjsthumbelina I am west of STL in OFallon 7y

DebBates101 Can we please call the meet up St Louis LitsTea 📚☕️ 7y

DiruVamp July 15 works for me! 👏🏻😁 7y

MaureenMc @DebBates101 👌😄 7y

DebBates101 It is in my calendar! 😆📆 Did everyone give comments on their preference between the tea service vs menu ordering? Either is fine but high tea service sounds like fun. 7y

readinginthedark @tpixie I‘ll let you know! 7y

readinginthedark @DebBates101 @MaureenMc @DiruVamp @mabell @rjsthumbelina @Bklover Perfect! I‘ll call them and see if they need a reservation for a group. I‘m thinking we‘ll just order whatever individually this time, since there have been some concerns about cost. That way people can get tea, scones and snacks, and/or conversation at their own discretion. 👍🏻 7y

readinginthedark @DebBates101 😆I love it! #StLLitsTea 7y

tpixie @DebBates101 my cousin lives in O‘Fallon!!! 7y

tpixie @DebBates101 lol fun name 7y

tpixie @Daisey ! 7y

DebBates101 @tpixie small world 🌎😊 7y

DiruVamp Menu ordering on our own sounds perfect for me. Good idea 👍🏻 7y

Chrys I think I am off work that day and would love to join in. I‘m in St Peters 7y

readinginthedark @DiruVamp @Chrys 👍🏻😊 7y

readinginthedark I forgot to tag @Gezemice @Grrlbrarian @Lylah @bookdrunkard78 @Patrella --if any of you are interested! 7y

DebBates101 @Chrys where in St Peters are you? I grew up there and my bestie @Genstl3 lives there. And Im sure u know @readinginthedark 7y

Grrlbrarian @readinginthedark This could maybe work depending on the time. Also: is this also a bookstore crawl or solely a meetup? 7y

Lylah @readinginthedark thank you for including me but unfortunately I work on Sundays! I hope the meet up goes well! 7y

readinginthedark @Lylah Oh no! Is your schedule pretty consistent? Maybe we can plan it for a different day next time. 6y

readinginthedark @Grrlbrarian I was thinking earlier in the day, mid-morning or around lunchtime. Does that work for you? My son has a cub scouts thing that evening in St. Peters, and I don't know yet if he wants me there or not, so I might be a little more flexible. Also, there aren't any bookstores in the direct vicinity of the tea shop, so I wasn't planning for a crawl, but this is open to discussion. 6y

Lylah @Lylah yeah it‘s pretty consistent but I only have Tuesdays & Thursdays off so I feel like nobody else would be able to do that. I hope everyone else has a good time though! ☺️ Post pics! 6y

mabell Are we still planning on the meet-up Sunday? It's come up quick! 😳 6y

readinginthedark @mabell @Grrlbrarian @Gezemice @bookdrunkard78 @Patrella @Chrys @DiruVamp @Daisey @DebBates101 @MaureenMc @rjsthumbelina @Bklover @sprainedbrain @Genstl3 Yes, sorry! Does Sunday still work for everyone? I'm thinking 11am? Let me know who all's coming! If we have more than 10, I need a reservation. 6y

sprainedbrain Wow... I guess I totally missed that a day had been picked! I won‘t be able to make it but can‘t wait to see the posts! 6y

Patrella Oh wow! This sounds like fun! I've taken a step back from social media the last year and a half, so I nearly missed this! Thanks for tagging me again @readinginthedark! @bookdrunkard78 what do you think think?! 6y

Grrlbrarian Sorry, @readinginthedark but I won‘t be able to make it this weekend 😢 Can‘t wait to see photos - and would love to make a future meet-up 6y

DiruVamp Ugh I totally didn‘t write that date down 🙃Can you put me down for a maybe? I‘m going to try and rearrange some things 6y

Daisey I can‘t. I had hoped it would match up with a July family get together, but I was in St. Charles county for that last weekend and can‘t make another trip this weekend. 6y

mabell I would still be able to make it, but I'm also ok pushing it back so more people could make it - whichever is fine. I think @LibrarianRyan was interested in coming down? 6y

LibrarianRyan What day again. I think I can come. I am going to STL on the 28th but I could probably make another date as well 6y

DebBates101 I can but if we want to wait till more ppl can go thats good too. 6y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @Grrlbrarian @Gezemice @bookdrunkard78 @Patrella @Chrys @DiruVamp @mabell @Daisey @DebBates101 @MaureenMc @rjsthumbelina @Bklover @sprainedbrain @Genstl3 Well, I'm flexible, so let's take a vote: Which works better for you--this Sunday, July 15, or Saturday, July 28? 6y

DebBates101 @readinginthedark either one 6y

LibrarianRyan Either. Prefer Saturday. 6y

Chrys I work the 28th, but you all have fun and I will live to see the photos 6y

sprainedbrain We have plans this weekend, but 7/28 would work for me. Don‘t work around me, though... the more local people should get to go!! 6y

mabell Whatever works best for the group is fine with me. 6y

Grrlbrarian The 28th is totally booked - no pun intended 😏 - but so is the 15th now. Y‘all have fun! 6y

MaureenMc I can do either date, and don‘t really have a preference. ☺️ 6y

Daisey Sorry, neither will work for me. Have a great time! 6y

Bklover I‘m so sorry I can‘t do either one- have a great time! Please include me next time! 6y

DiruVamp I can‘t do either as it turns out but y‘all have a blast and post lots of pics! I hope to make it if you decide to do another one! 6y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @Gezemice @bookdrunkard78 @Patrella @mabell @DebBates101 @MaureenMc @rjsthumbelina @sprainedbrain @Genstl3 Saturday, July 28 then! We can decide a time closer to the day, unless you guys have a preference now. I'm thinking we'll plan another get-together in September or October, too, so more people can hopefully come! 6y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark works for me. I'll have 2 friends with me so I'll be a party of 3 6y

sprainedbrain @readinginthedark yay!! 6y

MaureenMc @readinginthedark 👍 😁 6y

mabell Sounds good! Thank you for planning! 6y

Gezemice Oh I am so sorry I missed this - I was on a Litsy hiatus... I cant do it in July but definitely interested in September or October! Thank you for the tag :) 6y

readinginthedark @Gezemice Sounds good! And you're welcome! 6y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @sprainedbrain @MaureenMc @mabell 👍 Do you guys have a time preference? It looks like they're consistently busy for most of the day, but slightly less so 9-11am, before lunch. I'm free whenever. 6y

mabell Whatever time works for everyone is fine with me. 6y

LibrarianRyan Works for me. I just need the location. @readinginthedark (edited) 6y

MaureenMc Maybe the 10-11 range? 6y

mabell @MaureenMc @LibrarianRyan @sprainedbrain Would it work for everyone to meet at 10:45 or so? Did we need a reservation @readinginthedark ? For anyone that still needs the address, it is 3128 Morganford, St Louis MO 63116 6y

sprainedbrain @mabell works for me! 6y

LibrarianRyan Works for me. I will be a party of 3 @mabell 6y

MaureenMc @mabell Works for me! 6y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @sprainedbrain @MaureenMc @mabell Sorry, I didn't see that everyone had responded! Yes, 10:45! 👍 No, we don't need a reservation. Whoever gets there first, grab a table for 7! 6y

DebBates101 @readinginthedark I am bringing someone, too, so count me as two ppl plz id that is ok 6y

readinginthedark @DebBates101 👍We'll still be less than 10, so it should be fine. I may take you up on that ride...text you later! 6y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @sprainedbrain @MaureenMc @mabell @DebBates101 Reminder! 10:45am at London Tea Room on Saturday! I'm excited to see you guys! 6y

DebBates101 @readinginthedark sounds good! 6y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark see you there. 6y

mabell See you then! 6y

MaureenMc 👍 6y

sprainedbrain @readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan @MaureenMc @mabell @DebBates101 I‘m so bummed about this, but my kid-care plans didn‘t work out for tomorrow, so I won‘t be able to make it. 😔 Hopefully next time you meet, I will be able to make the trip. Hope you all have a fantastic time and post pictures! 6y

mabell @sprainedbrain Oh no!! We'll miss you! 😔 6y

readinginthedark @sprainedbrain Aw! Well, if you change your mind, you're welcome to bring your kids (but I understand the desire not to). Next time for sure! 6y

sprainedbrain @readinginthedark @mabell I would bring him with, but he doesn‘t do well with the 4 hours in the car... it‘s not so bad if we spend the night, but I wasn‘t planning to stay, so he would be nearly impossible with 8 hours driving in one day. 🙃 6y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark hello everyone. Just letting you know I hear and early. @mabell @MaureenMc @DebBates101 6y

mabell @sprainedbrain That is quite a haul! 😳 I don't blame him. 😂 Hopefully we can plan something for September/October 🤞 6y

mabell @LibrarianRyan Just about there! 6y

DebBates101 @LibrarianRyan @Gezemice @bookdrunkard78 @Patrella @mabell @DebBates101 @MaureenMc @rjsthumbelina @sprainedbrain @Genstl3 @DiruVamp @Bklover @Daisey @Grrlbrarian @Chrys @Lylah @tpixie @sammisho @Amabear so glad to meet those of u who could make it today! Since it is a little difficult to communicate w/ the whole group for meetups I am making a directory for all of us. (1/2) (edited) 6y

DebBates101 Send me ur email address. I will email everyone w/ a list of basic questions to answer. When we plan these events it will be much easier to chat/plan via email. You can either post ur email address here or email it to me at debbates101@yahoo.com. Plz tag anyone I missed or anyone else who u think might be interested in staying in touch w/ the local Littens. @CayRivvers 6y

readinginthedark @sprainedbrain Completely understandable! 6y

readinginthedark @DebBates101 readinginthedark1988@outlook.com 6y

Patrella @DebBates101 alemap211@gmail.com 6y

Genstl3 I missed this 😕 let me know when another occurs, I would love to join. @readinginthedark 6y

I know this is late notice, but does anyone want to go to this with me? My husband‘s not a big tea person, and it sounds so fun!!! And only $5!

MaureenMc, mabell

merelybookish I would if I were in MO! 😉 7y

LibrarianRyan If I had a few weeks notice. I like to get down to STL every so often. 7y

abbsinwonderland Ohhhhh I'd love to if I wasn't in Nebraska 😥☕💜 7y

See All 22 Comments

Natasha.C.Barnes I would if I wasn't in Oregon! 7y

MaureenMc @readinginthedark It does sound fun, but, unfortunately, we already have plans. ☹️ Does the shop do this periodically? If so, maybe we could plan a future meet up? 7y

mabell Sure! What time would you like to meet? 7y

mabell (If you still would like to go) 7y

readinginthedark @mabell Oh yay! Hm...maybe meet there about 12:30? Then we have time to figure out what room it‘s in and/or look around ‘cause I need some Valentine candy for my son. I‘ll register both of us since I already have the webpage open! 😊🎉 7y

readinginthedark @MaureenMc Oh bummer! This is the first time they‘ve ever done it, but maybe if it‘s successful they will! And if not, this place would still be fun to meet. They have specialty candy and Italian cream sodas and things. Or there‘s an old-fashioned soda shop nearby, and tea shops in St. Louis and O‘Fallon. We should have meet-ups more often! 7y

readinginthedark @LibrarianRyan Oh, I just found out about it this week. 😕But if I hear about anything else! 👍🏻 7y

mabell That's so sweet! (Pun intended) Did you already register? My husband is going to drive out with me, so we'll register for him (and me if you haven't already) We may not be able to make it by 12:30 - would 12:50 work? 7y

readinginthedark @merelybookish @abbsinwonderland @Natasha.C.Barnes You guys are awesome! Let me know if you are ever in MO, and we‘ll meet up! I‘m usually around the StL/St. Charles area, but sometimes I‘m in Springfield or KC with family. 7y

readinginthedark @mabell 😆👍🏻Oh fun! Yeah, that will work fine. I‘ll get there a little earlier and do my Valentines shopping. I already registered you and me, so just register your husband. This will be fun! 7y

mabell Perfect thanks! We'll see you then! 7y

Gezemice Oh I am in Urbana, IL, if we have a meeting that is arranged more ahead of time I would be interested. But St Louis is 4 hrs so I would have to make a weekend trip. 7y

readinginthedark @Gezemice 👍🏻Well, @mabell and I talked about maybe getting together at The London Tearoom in March or April. Would you be up for that? @MaureenMc @Bklover @Chrys @LibrarianRyan 7y

MaureenMc @readinginthedark Yes, sounds great! 7y

Chrys I wish, but I am going to my Grandpas birthday today. I would love to meet up sometime in the future though. 7y

Gezemice @readinginthedark Sure! As long as it is on the weekend. 7y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark april is better but sure. 7y

Bklover Just saw this so missed it but would love to get together in April! 7y

MaureenMc It'll probably be closer to 6:30 before I can get there, but I am planning to be there. I'll be wearing some type of bookish t-shirt. 😁 7y

Meet Me in St. Louis: A Trip to the 1904 World's Fair | Robert Jackson

Man time is flying. I am putting together a #litsymeetup in St. Louis. I originally set out a Saturday date but I know a few people couldn't make it, and I had something come up as well. So let's try for a Friday. Which would work better for those that can attend. Left Bank Books or one of the Barnes and Nobel. I do realize that most will be coming from work. #stlouismeetup

BTW if anyone is going to Penned Con see you there!

MaureenMc, mabell, readinginthedark, Chrys, moarbookspleaze, Bklover

MaureenMc I believe I can still do Friday! As for the bookstore, is there an area where the majority will be? I'm in West County (although I don't mind driving elsewhere.) 7y

LibrarianRyan @MaureenMc I'm staying at the parkway but I know my way around pretty well so I can do either. 7y

mabell Thanks for tagging me! I don't know if I will be able to make it - hopefully I can. 🤞I'm in South City, so Left Bank and the West County BN would be the closest to me I believe. 7y

See All 25 Comments

Chrys I don't know that I can make Friday, I will have to see if I can get someone to come in early for me at work. If I can West County would work for me 7y

readinginthedark This should work for me. And I'm in St. Peters, so it takes me the same amount of time to get anywhere in StL; we can meet wherever. (edited) 7y

readinginthedark @abbsinwonderland @vivastory @tpixie @goktrose Tagging some more people that might be interested! @LibrarianRyan will be in town, so we're gonna' meet-up! 7y

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark yes yes yes. I'll post a new graphic tonight and tag anyone you tag as well!!! Yeahhhhh 7y

readinginthedark 👍🏻 7y

tpixie Ooh! Have fun! I‘ll be babysitting my grandson but would at least consider driving there 7y

abbsinwonderland @readinginthedark Thanks for the tag! Unfortunately, that's two days after my birthday and I have plans! Have fun everyone! 7y

vivastory I hope to be there! It depends on when I'll be visiting my cousin & his family. 7y

readinginthedark @tpixie Your grandson is welcome to tag along! Depending on how things play out, I might have my son with me. 7y

readinginthedark @abbsinwonderland Well, happy early birthday! We'll catch you next time! 7y

readinginthedark @vivastory 👍🏻 7y

tpixie @sammisho @Daisey here‘s a meet up- but it‘s a Friday- so with Work may not be able to get to St Louis. 7y

tpixie @readinginthedark thx- but it‘s too far - I‘m in the middle of Kansas. 7y

Daisey @tpixie Thanks for the tag, and with family in St. Charles I would possibly consider a trip to St. Louis for a meet-up but not this time. 7y

readinginthedark @tpixie Oh sure, understandable. 7y

tpixie @Daisey 🌞 7y

goktrose Boo I am leaving that afternoon to drive to a concert in Wisconsin, so everyone going will have to enjoy the bookish fun on my behalf! 7y

Gezemice Oh I missed this. I live in Urbana, IL, I could make a St Louis meetup. Let me know if there is another one! 7y

LibrarianRyan @Gezemice cool beans. I'm actually in Springfield myself. By way of mattoon. 7y

Gezemice @LibrarianRyan well now. We could have a Central Illinois meetup! 7y

LibrarianRyan @Gezemice we totally can. We have one who's daughter lives in around Springfield but she lives closer to St. Louis. 7y

Gezemice Oh cool! I know some live nearby but I was gone for a while and forgot whom. 🙁 I am a bad girl. I'l keep track next 7y

Meet Me in St. Louis: A Trip to the 1904 World's Fair | Robert Jackson

Hey all,

I was wondering if any one

1 would be interested in a #StLouisMeetUp.
2 is going to Penned Con in St. Louis.

I thought even if no one else is going to Penned Con, maybe some would still like to meet up that Saturday. Maybe at the big Barnes and Nobel, or at Main street Books in St. Charles. Anyone interested ?

readinginthedark I don't know if I'll be at Penned Con, but I'll definitely meet you if I can! Anyone else? @moarbookspleaze @mabell @Bklover @MaureenMc (edited) 7y

moarbookspleaze @readinginthedark I have to go to a wedding that day. 😞 7y

LibrarianRyan @moarbookspleaze @readinginthedark maybe Friday night is better? 7y

See All 8 Comments

LibrarianRyan @readinginthedark I won't lie, I'm going to Peened con because I had free tickets. 7y

MaureenMc Can't do Penned Con but am interested in the meet up! Either Friday or Saturday could work currently. 7y

LibrarianRyan @MaureenMc cool beans. I have enough, I guess I'll start setting something up. 7y

readinginthedark As of right now, I'm free that whole weekend, so whatever works best for everyone. 7y

readinginthedark Oh @Chrys , you too? 7y

Hey St. Louis Littens! So, the best reservation I could get for this weekend was for "brunch" on Sunday July 16 at 2pm! I'm thinking since the reservation is later, we can meet at Left Bank Books around 12pm to shop and/or chat and then walk down the block to MaryAnn's tea room around 1:30pm, but I'm open to suggestions! #stlmeetup

MaureenMc, mabell, Bklover

readinginthedark @abbsinwonderland You can come, too! 7y

MaureenMc STL Littens, I am so sorry, but it looks like I won't be able to make it on Sunday after all. ☹️ Stupid job stuff has gotten in the way. I hope you all have a fabulous time, & I hope I can join the next meet up! 7y

mabell @MaureenMc @readinginthedark @Bklover I can still attend tomorrow, but I wouldn't be opposed to rescheduling for when we can all make it. 7y

readinginthedark Oh, sorry about your work stuff, @MaureenMc ! I'm thinking those of us who can should go ahead and meet tomorrow, since we already have the reservation at the tea room (and I like having an excuse to go to a bookstore without my husband or son). And then we could all meet-up again later in a month or two, maybe when @vivastory will be in town, too? How does that sound? @mabell @Bklover @abbsinwonderland 7y

Bklover I'm not going to be able to make it. I'm so sorry. Just can't do it financially right now. Maybe next time you get together I'll be able to. I hope you all have a wonderful time. ❤️to you all! (edited) 7y

vivastory I'd definitely be interested in meeting St. Louis littens. I'll be there the final weekend of September. 7y

readinginthedark @mabell @Bklover @abbsinwonderland @MaureenMc Okay, well I'll just cancel the reservation then. We'll meet up in September if not before. Does that sound good to everyone? 7y

MaureenMc @readinginthedark Yes, sounds fabulous! (I will have no job obligations getting in the way after Aug. 4 through, like, forever. 😁) Again, I'm so sorry it didn't work out for this weekend. 7y

Bklover Sounds good. I'll do my best to be able to be there in September. Thank you for all your trouble! 7y

mabell @readinginthedark Sounds good. Thank you so much for working to put this together. I'm sorry it didn't work out for this weekend, but I'm looking forward to the next one! 7y

readinginthedark @mabell @Bklover @MaureenMc No problem! Sounds like we were all a little busier than usual right now. Ironic, since it's summer! 😆 7y

Meet Me in St. Louis: A Trip to the 1904 World's Fair | Robert Jackson

Hey St. Louis area Littens! A few weeks ago we talked about getting together. I know I've gotten distracted and fallen behind a bit, but I'd still like to do this. My calendar says Saturday July 8: lunch at MaryAnn's Tea Room and then a stop at Left Bank Books. If you're coming, let me know, please. Or if you're interested but this doesn't work for you, tell me! There aren't very many of us, so we can be a bit flexible with things. #stlmeetup

MaureenMc, Bklover

MaureenMc @readinginthedark I'm in! Did we decide on a time yet? @Bklover 7y

readinginthedark @MaureenMc No, but I think the tea room opens around 11 or 12, so probably as early as we could, unless you guys would rather hit the bookstore first? I'm completely free that day; whatever is best for you guys, just let me know. 7y

mabell I'm interested in joining! 7y

readinginthedark @mabell 👍🏻Does the date and rough timeframe work for you? I know it's kind of short notice. 7y

mabell Plenty of notice 😊 Saturday at 11 or 12 works for me! 7y

readinginthedark @mabell Perfect! I'll keep you tagged in the updates! 7y

Bklover Sorry- been out of town. I think I can make that. Can't wait to meet everyone! 7y

readinginthedark @Bklover No worries! I fell behind, but I'll call and set it up today! 😊 7y

Bklover Oh no! Just realized this Saturday have company coming. Please go ahead and meet and I will join up next time! 7y

readinginthedark @Bklover @mabell @MaureenMc Well, I've been having some car trouble this week. And I talked to the tea room today, and they can't squeeze us in on Saturday at all. 😕Do you all want to postpone until July 15 or 16? 7y

mabell I was going to have to regret, as we have to attend an out-of-town funeral. Postponing to either date would be great for me! 7y

mabell P.S. I'm sorry to hear about your car trouble! 7y

MaureenMc @readinginthedark @Bklover @mabell I'm fine with next weekend (15 or 16). Hopefully that'll work better for everyone. 😊 7y

Meet Me in St. Louis: A Trip to the 1904 World's Fair | Robert Jackson

Read this book for the read harder challenge category of a book set within 100 miles of your home. I live 2 blocks from the fairgrounds of the 1904 World's Fair and it was really cool to read about how different the world was 113 years ago. If you're interesed in the topic I recommend this quick read! #ReadHarder2017
