From Christopher:
The PoP Book Club just finished its third book, ‘The Watchmen’ by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. This was a first for many of the readers, as not a lot of us had read graphic novels, but the overall opinion was that it was a good book. We started a rating system to help showcase the groups opinion, and we give ‘the Watchmen’ a solid 3 and 1/2 frogs out of a possible 5 (actually the consensus was more along the lines of 4 out of 5, but I just wanted to see PoP post half a frog, ok?) Also, we have tentative plans for dinner and a movie when the movie based on this book comes out in March next year, for anyone that wants to get in on the fun!
Our next read is a non-fiction work by Antony Wild titled ‘Coffee: A Dark History’. We will be meeting at the Red Derby on Monday, January 5th at 7:00pm to get the process going (and to get our drink/grub on), and then again at the Petworth Library on Wednesday, January 21 at 7:00pm to really break into the discussion :)
The group is growing with every new book, so don’t be left out! Grab a cup of joe, a copy of ‘Coffee: A Dark History’, and join us next month!

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
