October is National Reading Group Month!

Did you know that October is National Reading Group Month? Reading groups and book clubs are an excellent way to bring people together over shared interests and the love of good conversation. These groups aren’t just an opportunity to appreciate great books, but are places where members can reflect on their lives and personal experiences, plan for the future, and talk about the things that really matter in life.

What better way to celebrate National Reading Group Month than by starting your own book club?
