Hosted by Tempe resident bibliophile Tracy Sobers
Special Format: Every month the book club reads one book and discusses it at the book club meeting. But this month, there will be no book selection. Instead: We will take time to talk about all the books we have read during the past year-and-a-half since the book club started.
PLUS: We will discuss books to read during the upcoming year. We WILL make decisions as a group about books to read during upcoming months. So be sure to bring your suggestions!
This is the perfect event to attend if you have been interested in the book club, but have not yet attended a meeting.
The plan is to have an informal reception with snacks/refreshments/desserts/hors d'oeuvres beginning at 6:00 PM, and begin the meeting officially lat 6:30 PM.
What to Bring? You do not need to bring anything. But if you have a book you have read and want to recommend it for a future book club selection, feel free to bring it to show the group.
Optional: Bring Snacks: We normally do not have food or snacks at book club meetings. But for this special meeting, the hosts will be bringing refreshments, and all those who attend are invited to bring snacks or refreshments to share.
Who? This is a fun book club event that men and women from the neighborhood potluck list are invited to, along with everybody else who is interested.
Fun Book Club: This will be the 17th meeting of this book club. We had so much fun at the all of the meetings so far, with wonderful, fascinating discussions with great neighbors and new friends. If you like books or interesting discussions... or simply want to have fun meeting new people, I highly recommend RSVP-ing for this event.
