Hello book club friends!
Summer is a great time for reading, and such a great time for vacations too. Not all of us have been able to get together every month.
So, we welcome you to learn to use this space - our book club space - online, to keep up with our meeting news, add your comments on our current monthly pick if you can't make it to a meeting, and post suggestions for books to read in the future.
If you have some ideas, we'd all like to hear from you, so keep in touch.
Residents of the area around Cottage Grove, Minnesota, who enjoy reading a good book and meeting with others to talk about it.
