Just the Facts
We are a diverse group of working women and moms who meet on the first Monday of every month for wine, appetizers and book talk. We alternate between assigned books and "free read" months when we discuss and trade a variety of books, movies and magazine articles. On assigned books, the "leader" may tell a little about the author, reading from interviews and biographies and then will prompt discussion with questions. But, our conversation rarely stays on the book at hand for long. We end up talking about everything from travel and love to children and work.
