FICTION BOOK GROUPS
CONTACT US
MEETINGS | CONVENORS | SELECTIONS: 2012 - 2013 | ALL RECOMMENDATIONS: 2012 - 2013
We are friendly, small groups discussing books we have read. Because we sometimes read books which are ones we might not choose ourselves, our mental boundaries get a little stretched and our horizons broadened. We often invite local authors to attend as well, if we have read their books.
