What we’re about
Our group is for anyone who is an avid, a once in a while, new, or wanting to get back to reading person. Many of us would like a little bit (or a lot) of "me" time and get absorbed in a good book. Anyone else do the "when I have time" thing? buy a book that isn't read? read such a fantastic (or horrible book for that matter) and have no one to discuss with? Raise your hand! Ok put them all down now.
There's a plethora of ways (a PLETHORA I tell ya) to access books/audios. Take advantage of your local library (yep they're still around I promise) and ahhhh that book smell!. I'm a member of five libraries. Seriously. (Shhh they don't have to know about each other.) It's surprising how far along you get with audiobooks while driving, folding laundry, cleaning, walking the dog/or yourself, sitting at the DMV with your #73 ticket as #32 is called, or waiting for your partner/kids/grandma to finish sampling everything at Costco.
Our goal is an approachable, relaxed group all can look forward to. I encourage you to book swap as well! We're discovering new genres together too. Plus come on; we're so cool like that reading together. Alrighty then ... what are you waiting for?! Up your grooviness and read. Oprah and I say so.
A few simple rules:
* Please no sensitive subjects outside our book discussion. We all have our personal beliefs; our book club is not the place.
* Trash talking, intimidation or sexual harassment will not be not tolerated. PERIOD.
* RESPECT ALWAYS

•OnlineLloyd McNeil's Last Ride - By: Will Leitch
Online***Lloyd McNeil’s Last Ride ***is a surprising, unforgettable blend of suspense, humor, and compassion. It is a novel about what we leave behind and what we learn along the way, a bighearted and stirring story about the depths of a father’s love for his son.
Lloyd McNeil has just learned he has months to live. He also learns that his twenty years as a beat cop in Atlanta haven’t earned him enough money to take care of his teenage son, Bishop, after he’s gone. But when Lloyd discovers his police benefits will increase exponentially if he dies in the line of duty, he comes up with a plan.
Lloyd begins to throw himself into one life-threatening situation after another to try to get himself killed and to provide for his son . . . but he keeps failing—and surviving. To his shock, his accidental heroics make him an inspirational icon in the community. But time is still running out for Lloyd to get his affairs in order, to teach Bishop the lessons he needs to be a good person, and to say goodbye.
