How do I submit a book for the book club?
Hi Eric! We’ll be collecting book recommendations at our monthly Zoom session next Thursday, May 29th. We hope to see you there and can’t wait to hear your suggestions!
I don’t think I’ll join. I don’t know that I’ll be able to read the whole book by the 29th. But I could start reading this book on my own.
Hi Michelle! Feel free to come just to listen in, even if you haven’t finished the book. You might enjoy hearing everyone’s thoughts and it could make reading the rest of the book even more interesting.
You can always join the Zoom discussion even if you haven’t finished the book. Your insights for what you read would be welcome.
I miss the first week, but I was sent this book through Amazon. Maybe I’ll try to join for the second week.
