If you’ve never been to a Books & Brews Club meeting, I encourage you to try it out. We’re a relaxed book club that’s more about community and fellowship than serious literary discussions. Our meetings are from 1 – 3 on the first Saturday of each month. The first hour is reserved for chatting and eating. We do not discuss the book until 2, so feel free to come whether you’ve read the book or not. At the very least, you should try Fat Toad’s food menu. My standard order is a side salad and a pretzel with double the cheese. It’s amazing! (The pizza isn’t bad either!)
In other news, this is volume 200 of “Read On!” That’s almost four years! I hope you’re having as much fun reading as I am writing.
