Book Club Books

A few people have asked me to post a list of books that my book club has read. Well, here it is (I may have forgotten a few). I starred the books I really liked. In October (pre-elections), we don't read a book and instead read the voters guide and discuss the politicians and propositions, which is yet another reason why I love my book club - opinionated, brilliant women.
