Book Share

As the group continues to read The Count of Monte Cristo, there was no book for discussion this month. So we decided on a Book Share!

What fun it was to hear the 60-second reason each member recommended these "fun" books! I praise the members for being concise with their descriptions so as to intrigue us, but not give away the plot.

This list is not endorsed by the Club itself. As with all books and movies, I know you will use God-given discretion before choosing to read any of these books. Having said that, there are many on this list that I can't wait to read!

The (#) is the # of members who have read the book in addition to the recommender.
