Women Who Read
Tuesday, March 9 at 6:00 PM
The Women Who Read group will be zooming again on March 9 at 6:30 to discuss The Only Woman in the Room by Marie Benedict. For May we are reading The Evening and the Morning by Ken Follett and this is a long one! :) I am no longer sending out a reminder since I put articles in the Weekly News and the Archangel. So please remember that we meet on Zoom the second Tuesday of every other month and as always please have a question about the book we are reading.
Happy Reading!
Hugs, Micki
