I've included some books from previous years so please ignore if it is something the group has read already.
I'm creating this string to add suggestions for our next year's reading selections. I'll copy Ellen's suggestions here as well as those Susan sent to the listserv. I'll also get an email out soon to set a summer meeting to discuss the next year.
Thanks!
