How Our Book Club Works:

Book club meets on the 3rd Thursday of every month at 7:30pm. We take turns hosting book club in our homes, and everyone brings snacks and/or wine so the hostess doesn't have to worry about providing ALL the food and drink. Whoever is hosting is responsible for picking the book, emailing out the title and author to the group at least a month before their meeting, sending out an evite, and leading the discussion questions during their meeting. We're a smart, but chatty group, so as hostess, it's your job to keep us on track! You can find the names and email addresses for all our current members below.

What book to pick? At the bottom of this page is a list of all the books we've read over the past years. Please check the list so you don't pick something we've already read. We try to be sensitive about issues of religion. Once you email out what book you've selected, I'll update this webpage to include your book and a link to discussion questions (just send me a pointer if you have different questions you want to use instead.)

Most important! Bookmark this website!

That's it! Happy Reading!
