PAGE TURNERS
The Book Club was founded with the intention to have members get outside their box and try books that they would not generally select from the bookshelf. It is an opportunity for members to sample others' favorite books, challenge themselves and meet to socialize. Our first meeting was Jan. 29, 2011. The Club was founded by Amy and was originally comprised of four members: Amy, Patty, Kathryn and Nessie. Beverly joined in March 2012; Ivan joined in March 2013. At that time we chose the name Page Turners.
BOOK
CLUB GUIDELINES
The main idea is to choose a
book you have read and enjoyed (or that you would like to read); announce that
book to the group when it is your turn; choose and announce the restaurant
(sometimes with the food theme matching the book); and lead the discussion on
the book at that meeting.
Meetings generally run with everyone gathering, chatting, ordering food, then settling in for the book discussion.
