Book Club where we will read from a choice of books that cover a different theme each month. This month's theme is dysfunctional families - because it's the holiday season when some (or many?) people have to deal with awkward or toxic family issues.

Pick one of these books to read and discuss! If you're motivated to read more than one, go for it! If you want to read or discuss a different book not listed here on the theme, feel free to share that book with the group. If you don't have time to read any of the books, but want to listen and/or partake in the discussion anyway, feel free!
