Women's Classic Literature Enthusiasts discussion

Once again, it is time to nominate a book - this time for May. Have you found a classic that you think others might enjoy? Then this is the time to nominate it.

You can nominate up to two books, written by women, that have not been read by the group for the past three years. They must be at least 50 years old. Also, please let me know if you're able to lead the discussion. Nominations will close March 15, 2024.

You can check our bookshelf for ideas and to see if a book has been read recently.
