As I watched the first of the three-day goodbye to Oprah, it brought back so many memories of watching the show with my mom.
My favorite memory of the Oprah show through the years was that she made reading cool. I had started a book club with a group of friends before Oprah kicked off hers. However, it was not until Oprah started talking about book clubs that reading became in vogue and I was no longer alone in the quest for good books.
All of sudden my mother started telling her friends that her daughter was in a book club.
My mother even helped me host a book club meeting and cooked all the food to coincide with the book we were reading. Yeah, Oprah validated book clubs for my mother. Ahh…. Her show will be missed….
