With many us with some free time because of COVID, it’s a great time to catch up on some recreational reading. Our two has two reading groups. You can join one of them (Jeannine Desautels & Ruth Domack). The groups range widely in their reading, they DO conduct their meetings via Zoom during COVID. Consider joining up! But if you’re just looking for some books to read on your own, here are the books these two groups have read over the last 6-7 years. Enjoy!
