We're No Longer Posting for Each Book

Hello.


Since 2013, we have posted a monthly invitation to comment on the book we're reading. In the past several months, we have not received many comments on these posts, so we are discontinuing them as of now.


As a face-to-face book group, we happily share our comments and questions when we meet each month.


From now on, we encourage anyone who cannot attend the meeting on a given month to share your thoughts about the book by responding to the reminder email. Susan will then bring the emailed thoughts to the meeting to share.


Thanks to all who have read or commented on our posts on this blog. We appreciate your input.


Be sure to see our list of titles that we've read from 2008 to the present here.


We plan to continue updating that list.


Happy reading!
