In addition to the already announced Christian fiction discussion on Tuesday, August 21, watch for specific information about the Harry Potter book club that will begin on Wednesday, September 12. Since a one hour session will not allow sufficient time to cover the series completely, subsequent meeting dates will no doubt be scheduled. A book club targeting Horror books and authors is scheduled to begin sometime in September. Date and time will be announced soon. We are currently looking for people interested in helping develop discussions on other categories: Science Fiction, Biography, Historical Fiction, General Fiction, Non-fiction, Young Adults, K-12, , Mysteries, Western, Romance, World Religions and more..
