Books

I love books of a wide variety of genres ; and discussing them with others. That is the main reason I am a member of a Book Club. As a formal book club we meet on a scheduled time at a set location once a month. We do not focus on a specific genre but allow members to suggest  books and then come up with an agreed upon reading list. 
I have decided to use my blog to record books I am reading for my personal enjoyment as well as for the Book Club.
