In our first meeting we decided Fridays would work better than Tuesdays.  So we will be meeting on the 2nd Friday of April and May.  Then we will take June, July and August off and start back on schedule in September.

Our book for May will be The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by  Mary Anne Shaffer:

Starting our Book Group!

I am so excited about starting our group!  It is going to be a much needed break from the routine for many of us.  Friendships will be started and strengthened as we read and discuss a variety of books and articles and maybe some movies too!
I thought a great place to start would be to read some different ways other book groups start and at our first meeting we can discuss how we want our group to work!
