Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been making my regular book club and online book club posts. I have lots of excuses for why I haven't kept up with my book club reading (or made it via Skype to any of my Buffalo book club meetings since I moved), but suffice it to say that I feel horribly guilty about it and I hope to rectify the situation soon.
In the meantime, I do have the new reading list for Buffalo book club to share.

Some great picks in there. I've never been in a book club, but think I would enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThis first book club I was ever a part of (the Buffalo one mentioned above) I started myself at work. So, if you think you'd like a book club, put some feelers out there and see if you can round up some people in your area.
