Welcome to our group, Francine! We're delighted that you joined us to get back into reading again. It's wonderful you had enjoyed the opportunity to read and discuss new books in a book club years ago. We have monthly Group Reads, Buddy Reads, and TBR Twins here, so you'll definitely have opportunities to connect with others over a shared book. It's never too late to join, and I hope we help motivate and inspire to get into the habit of reading again. Happy reading!

Welcome Carrie, Melissa, and LinaVer!
