Monthly Book Club📚📖

Once a month, we will get together to talk about a book that we all read. This series isn't necessarily going to be talking about the satire or antagonist's motivations. We are just here to have fun, talk about our favorite parts, maybe some parts you didn't like, anything you want! At the end of each session, we will vote on the book we all want to read for the next month's session.
