Come join us on the porch swing! If you love to read a variety of books, like to chat about what you are reading and want to be a part of a friendly, active book group, then you've found the right place! This is an especially great group for those of you looking for mostly book talk as WE DON'T ALLOW MUCH OFF-TOPIC CHATTER. It's just books, books, books!

Grab a cool glass of lemonade, relax with a good book and join in.



Want to be a part of our 2009 Reading Challenges? All members are welcome to join in.

What is a reading challenge? Each year, Linda and Kari will come up with certain themes or goals and you select a book for each one. Every year they will be different. Keep track of these on your own and let us know your progress.

Below are the links that describe them and contain an image for your own blog. (Please note, these links will take you to Kari's personal reading blog but the information is there for you.)
