Join our book club!
I run an online book club, and we are always looking for new members! We read all kinds of books and are open to all genres. Every month we discuss the book we read the previous month, read a book for the current month, and vote on a book for the next month. And we find time to talk about book recommendations and ourselves in between. If you'd like to join (the website is private) please email me at cambookclub@gmail.com.
