What we’re about
Let’s get together twice a month for good literature, food, and fellowship! This group is open to anyone who enjoys reading. The first 30 minutes we’ll mingle together over appetizers and wine. The following hour we’ll discuss a book of the group’s choosing that month. Open to all!
How do we decide what we're reading that month? I'm glad you asked!! You can help choose! If you attend Part 1 of that month's meeting you'll get a vote into what our next book will be. When you RSVP online for Part 1 you'll be asked the question 'do you have a book recommendation for next month's read?' From the various books that are submitted I will select the three that I think are best based on reviews, popularity, general appeal, genre, etc... When you attend book club that evening you'll read the synopsis of the three books that were selected and cast your vote for what we should read next month. Choosing new literature together each month helps us not to get stuck in a rut and keeps our group vibrant. We've read all sorts of things! Check out our list below.
