Book Club Selections

Inspiring each other to read books outside our typical genre.
Introducing ourselves to new novels we would never have picked up on our own.

Our book club has about 30 members and anywhere from 5 to 12 of us show up for each gathering.  We started in June of 2009, and we read one book a month and meet to discuss the book, or whatever else might come up.  Anyone who likes to read is welcome to join us.  Email me if you'd like to be added to the list.
