Book Club with Barb and Thereese By Tess Lennon-Dorn
How-To With Thereese Peterson
BOOK CLUB WITH THEREESE AND BARB Thereese and Barb sit in the living room in front of the fireplace. Each of them are knitting and sipping a cup of tea. THEREESE Okay, hello everyone, thank you for subscribing. Welcome to another episode of "Book Me Hard." Today, I’ve invited my lovely friend, Ms. Barbara Lee Miller, to join me in reviewing, you guessed it, The Giver by Louis Lowry. Barb, what did you think of The Giver? BARB Hello everyone. I must say, I loved The Giver. Just the book cover alone was so nice. THEREESE What do ya mean, "Nice", Barb? I mean we’re supposed to have an in depth discussion here. So can you offer a more thoughtful comment than it was just "nice"? BARB It was inspiring. I was inspired by it. THEREESE Oh, okay. Now what about the story did you find inspiring? BARB ...how she led a nation in turning against the capitol. And I love Jennifer Love Hewitt in all of her movies. THEREESE Barb, I think you’re referring to the Jennifer Lawrence, and you just described the plot of The Hunger Games. Did ya read The Giver, Barb? BARB Of course I did. We don’t lie in book club. Barb gives her a blank stare and takes a sip of tea.

THEREESE (CONT’D) Barb, The Giver is about communism. What is your opinion about communism? BARB I think it’s the kind of thing that’s been tried and hasn’t worked. THEREESE Well that’s for darn true. You know, I’ve often found that people who compost are communists. BARB Well yes because it’s like, lets keep this banana peel, and spread it out so we both have even amounts of it. THEREESE Oh, is that a tweed you’re weaving into that scarf? Well that’s just gonna turn out wonderful, Barb. BARB To our followers: We’re knitting right now, and if you’d like tips on how you can knit, please make a comment so that we know that you would like us to make a video showing you how to knit. THEREESE Thank you Barb...for jumping the gun. I was going to make an announcement about our knitting at the end. BARB Sorry. THEREESE It’s fine. BARB Sorry. THEREESE It’s fine. Anyhow, back to our discussion about The Giver.
