BOOK CLUBS
There are three evening groups that meet on the first Monday, or the first or third Tuesday evenings of the month, and 2 afternoon groups that meet on the first Thursday or 3rd Wednesday afternoons of the month. Groups meet in members’ homes, one member leads the discussion of book reviews and information about the author or other books the author has written. The books, presenters, and monthly hostesses are chosen in June for the following year. New members are accepted into existing groups as openings arise, and we can easily start a new group if enough members are interested.

BOOK COMMENTARIES
Until further notice, Book Commentaries will meet via zoom in the afternoon on the 3rd Wednesday of the month (with the exception of December). Each member reviews what she has been reading and shares what may be of interest to other members. There is no strict format. Currently, this group has a full compliment of members.

REVOLVING BOOKS
Sign up at the September meeting or email cfuwrevbooks@gmail.com to participate in a reading circle. Every member receives a new book to read each month from October to July. At the end of the month, you pass it on to the next member. At the end of the year, you keep the last book you’ve read.
The book list for the year is chosen by the convenors based on reviews of very current bestseller books. One copy of each of the ten monthly books is purchased for each reading circle. The cost of the books is averaged and everyone pays one-tenth of the total cost (usually under $30), and gets to read ten current bestsellers. This group has no meetings or formal discussions – but it is fun to chat with other members about the interesting books you’ve read!
