Barb says, "I'm reading the book club pick The Wedding People by Alison Espach."
Mary Kay says, "I just finished the new Melody Carlson book Once Upon a Christmas Carol. Very good book. Nice short Christmas read."
Anita says, "I read The Road to Unfreedom by Timothy Snyder for the month of October. This is a non-fiction, provocative look at Russian politics which, according to the author, have led to the war in Ukraine. He also finds similarities in what he deems the "politics of eternity" and the current political climate of the U.S."
Stacy says "I am reading currently reading The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner. It is about three high school friends that are preparing for what life will be like after graduation. I am enjoying the twists and turns the book is taking."
