I have been involved with a fabulous book group for the past 3 years or so. Our numbers wax and wane but at our recent meeting we had over a dozen members show up. Our theme was “What I Read Over the Summer” where we shared our reading lists, good, bad and ugly! While we weren’t wild about every single book we read, we did compile a great list that I thought I would share with our patrons.
Others include:
