BYOB: Bring Your Own Book Club

We gather to talk about books we read, we like, dislike, or are puzzled by. We share our thoughts and recommendations, munch on cookies and just enjoy the time spent together conversing about books and ideas.

We love to read...

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience. This is the ideal life.” Mark Twain
