Welby Sisters Book Club 2012

Hello Ladies! I've volunteered as the Book Club Specialist for the 2012 year (I feel special : ) and I'm really excited about the books that have been chosen for the upcoming year. The titles are listed on the right and all you have to do is click on the picture to read a summary and learn more about the book that's been chosen for the month.

We'd especially like to thank Kendra for the wonderful job she did as the Book Club Specialist and we appreciate all those who hosted and/or joined the book reviews this past year. The hosts and books for this upcoming year were chosen during the November book club held at Jennifer's house. We still have the months of August and December available for hosting so let me know if you're interested. ~Dione
