Book Club

While I am in Bozeman, Montana, my book club meets online via Zoom. Our meetings are generally on Saturday mornings at 10am Mountain Time for about 90 minutes.

Members are not obligated to attend every meeting.

We meet every four weeks, reading from a wide variety of genres. We alternate between fiction and non-fiction titles.

For more information or to join us, email me or find our FaceBook group.

The Silent Wife

by A. S. A. Harrison

Into the Water

by Paula Hawkins

I pushed myself through this book because I thought it *had* to get better. The last 25 pages were the best part because I got resolution of open issues, but otherwise reading this was a waste of time. The story was sloooow and felt supe...
