<div dir="ltr">Hello, I hope this message finds you well.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">As we all know, due to the current events we are all going through a very hard time especially with social distancing guidelines in place. Let’s get rid of some of that distant feeling by getting together once a week to discuss a book!</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr"> for the past few weeks I’ve been keeping myself entertained by reading books, and I figured why not take that to another level and read a book with a group of people and come together to have a discussion. I got the idea of hosting a book club
that would meet once a week. I was thinking Fridays at 2PM via conference call or zoom. Below are the two books that I was thinking of reading along with the synopsis. Whoever would be interested in joining, please email me the book that you would be interested
in. The book with the most votes will be the one that we start off with. Lets get this book club started! These books are available on Bard, bookshare, and audible.</div>
