Goodreads Monday is a really simple weekly meme, hosted by new host Budget Tales Book Blog, where you choose a book at random from your Goodreads TBR and explain why you want to read it. This meme is also an opportunity to share any progress you have made on your current books, Goodreads Reading Challenge or anything else Goodreads related.
This week’s pick is: How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley
A senior citizens’ centre and a day care collide with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from New York Times bestselling author Clare Pooley
When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards.
The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.
When the city council threatens to sell the doomed community centre building, the members of the Social Club join forces with their tiny friends in the day care next door—as well as the teenaged father of one of the toddlers and a geriatric dog—to save the building. Together, this group’s unorthodox methods may actually work, as long as the police don’t catch up with them first.
Why do I want to read it?:
Is it enough to say that it just seems like a fun read? Old people, little people, a dog….hopefully it makes for a laugh.
This week’s reading progress:
Not a lot of progress to report.
I finished Blue Sisters by Coco Mellors on audio.
My eyes have been too heavy to even stay open long enough to pick up a book and to that a fair amount of stress and I have barely lifted a book. Luckily my audiobook listening continues as I drive to work, otherwise I would even have finished one book this week.

It does sound like a fun read. I’ve been wanting to read something from that author for a while.
I hope that you have less stress this week and that you get more reading in. I fell asleep today instead of reading.
Have a good week.
