Books and Beyond Book List for 2014-2015 Club Year

I worked today on firming up the book list for my book group.  I am pretty pleased with the variety of the selections for next book group year.  Hopefully, we'll have two "Book into Movie" selections.  Those are always fun meetings.

While I was at it, I finished the picnic assignments for for our meeting on Thursday when we'll be discussing "On Folly Beach" by Karen White.  What better way to discuss a beach book than a cookout at the beach?

This will be the last meeting of the 2013-14 year.
