WE DID IT! We were actually able to carry on our book club meetings via zoom. We always had a good number show up to allow for dynamic discussion, as always. This year we had a great list of books to choose from. I also liked having a list prior to our gather to review before the actually voting. I will keep this change for post covid times. Waiting to meeting and seeing what books people bring was fun but has gotten more complicated since people are reading ebooks, listening to audio books and borrowing from the library. Here is our list for 2021.
