Hi all! After skipping April's, we're back with some fiction. I haven't read this one and it looked fun- hopefully it will be! Here is the [link](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216052751-the-book-club-for-troublesome-women?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=7ZPzg0YmKT&rank=3) to the description of the book. I also wanted to project out some books over the coming months (that might take longer from the library so you should request now if you want to go that route): June: [Woodworking](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217311813-woodworking?from_search=true&from_srp=true&qid=WghfDg1LrF&rank=1) July: [Yesteryear](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/238226942-yesteryear?ref=nav_sb_ss_1_10) Also glad to take some suggestions for after! Please only RSVP if you plan to attend and please update your RSVP status if your plans change. We'll have casual potluck so bring whatever you'd like to share with the group. See you soon! Rebecca
