Book Brunch (Formerly known as Friday Fiction) is more of a book share than a book group. Every other month, Julie and Jill give brief reviews of recent and recommended titles to the group, and then ask the members to share what they have been reading as well. Meetings often have a seasonal theme, but there is always something for everyone.

This month we highlighted some titles that we have read, and some that are on our TBR (to be read) list.  We discussed how we select books to read, how we decide to DNF (did not finish) a book and how to access books on Libby or Hoopla.
