Daytime Bookclub

I really enjoyed meeting the ladies in the Daytime Bookclub and discussing "The Paris Wife"...a book I really liked and so did all the others.  They are certainly very organized for the books and have a few interesting "rules"....must be at least 6 copies at the library,  first hour is social then the discussion begins, you don't have to have read the book.

The venue was in a lovely part of Kits on 6th Ave with lovely old homes and fabulous mature trees.

For the current reading list they are trying to tie the book to a holiday or event....an interesting idea.
