>>> Monthly Book ClubDue to unexpected illnesses, a number of our book club fell sick in May so book club was cancelled. We picked back up in June to read Stanley Tucci’s “Taste” and gather at Linda Vaughn’s house. The turnout and chat was so great, no pictures were captured! What happens at book club, stays at book club :).
Our next book club is in July at Hannah Lord’s (fka: Hannah Spates) house (SOMEONE GOT MARRIED IN JUNE!) at 1118 Sundial on July 26th from 1-2:30pm. We’re reading “The Women” by Kristin Hannah and hope this one doesn’t make us cry the way her previous book did. If you haven’t joined us before, this is a great month to jump in and say hello!
If you’d like to join us for this book club, start suggesting books to read with us, or just meet a wonderful group of people please email spateshannah@gmail.com.
