Classics Book Club


This is a bookclub I'm starting for friends/family and Relief Society sisters to attend.
All book club meetings will be held monthly on a Tuesday at my (Amy Fox's) house.
I am starting this book club and planning on reading these books to my daughters, most are targeted to young adult age but they are also enjoyable for adults. Feel free to bring your teenagers who have read the book if you like. Otherwise, this is an adult only book club (nursing babies welcome).
I purchased my books at Barnes & Noble, Borders and Amazon.com. All books that are not Newbery winners are Hardcovers from the "Illustrated Junior Library" collection. You can buy them on Amazon or at Borders Bookstore. I'm not sure where else.

You are welcome to bring an appetizer, dessert or snack to share, but you don't need to so feel free to come with only your book.
I would love some volunteers to help lead each discussion. Otherwise, I will lead each time.
