Desperate Book Clubs

By Carmen 

CBS really, really wants this to be a hit. I mean, look at the way the women are posing, and no doubt the casting call was as Desperate Housewives-ish as humanly possible. The setup? Every Tuesday night, beginning on June 13, eight women get together to talk books and dish dirt (and more presumably.) But as Tvrealityworld.com reveals, cameras will chronicle the day-to-day drama encountered as the women attempt to raise their kids, maintain their households, and satisfy their husbands.

There’s Cris, “The Loyal Wife,” Sara, “The Party Girl,” and other catchy one-phrase aphorisms for each of the other women in question. CBS adds that the women (who all knew each other “directly or indirectly” prior to the show’s production) will “discuss everything… from sex to spouses to inner-most conflicts” during their weekly get togethers.

What’s missing? Oh yeah, books. Wanna bet opening book club pick one is something like THE KITE RUNNER?
