Yes, we've had our first meeting, and, yes, it was absolutely AMAZING. We are all so ready for the second and third meeting! You absolutely have time to catch up in time for meeting 2 and beyond. If you are interested, I will personally get you all caught up via email with everything that you need. Again, you must join Discord to participate in virtual book club meetings and/or text based discussion based. We chat on occasion, try our hand at discussing poetry, and we talk about wine.

Join our virtual discussions with or without your camera on and using your voice and/or chat. You'll never be called out or forced to discuss anything. Just be comfortable and arrive with an open mind. I will come prepared with questions and talking points that will make you think, discuss and question. It will be a good time with like minded people, I can promise you that!
After our weekly discussion, a channel will be added to further chat about the previously discussed chapters, just in case you have an afterthought or two or if you miss the virtual discussion. No Spoilers, ever!
Does this sound like your cup of tea (or wine)? I'm looking for a few dedicated members. 21+
All books should be available for free with options for purchasing. After the first book, we will have a poll for the following books.
First Book: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones
Summary: Newlyweds Celestial and Roy are the embodiment of both the American Dream and the New South. He is a young executive, and she is an artist on the brink of an exciting career. But as they settle into the routine of their life together, they are ripped apart by circumstances neither could have imagined. An American Marriage is a masterpiece of storytelling, an intimate look deep into the souls of people who must reckon with the past while moving forward-with hope and pain-into the future.
