Hi everyone!
Thanks so much for coming to book club on Sunday—it was wonderful seeing both new and familiar faces! I forgot to have us vote on our September pick, so I asked Copilot to help choose from our recommended list. It suggested four great options!
Please vote in the comments by 7/31, and I’ll announce the winner on 8/1. Here are the top picks:
