SURPRISE!! Simply Books! June Meeting

Aw.  My book club members are all grown up and having meetings without me.  It makes me so proud!   I think this group’s cohesion and friendship is both awesome and fantastic.  Fawesome.  Awetastic.

The group didn’t want to break for the summer, so a couple of our members graciously opened up their home for a meeting.  And other member is planning to do the same for August.  These folks are really great.  I can’t say that enough.

What really got me misty-eyed, though, was that one member was Acting Marie in Marie’s Absence, and took notes!  Wow!  So I’ve got a book list for you, so that you can see what the members of Simply Books! shared in June.

Here’s what the Simply Books! readers read in June, flying solo!  Click the title to get to the Shelfari page for each book.
