Like books? Like to talk about life, happiness, and the occasional paper-cut from books? (or bruised toe for you kindle and nook readers.) This is the group for you. We are a diverse group of race, age, and gender who have one come together for one common interest - books. Yet in exploring the stories or history together, we discover we have so much more in common as well. We don't follow one genre or one author but try to find new areas to branch into each month. We also don't break the stories …

If you want a book club where we pick a book, have an outlined discussion and only talk about the book, this is not it! Most BOOK clubs are of the "You must read this specific book to hang out with us" variety. Our club, on the other hand, uses whichever title we've picked as more of a jumping-off point and we end up discussing a whole slew of different books, authors, and genres. Sometimes, the subject just goes into an off the wall place. You never know what we end up talking about or doing. T …

Books Draw Us In....! The good ones become a part of our psyche and we feel like we "know" the characters. The good ones we can't put down, and sometimes our chores and obligations become secondary priorities. The good ones are so good that we can't wait to see how it ends... but then we are sad because it's over. The good ones make us cry, or laugh, or make you go "hmmmmm... The good ones we want to talk about: express feelings, offer opinions, get other perspectives on,  discuss aspects, and s …
