Good day to my fellow Childfree!

Under the files section of the meetup page, I uploaded an Excel spreadsheet with our book club reading list history. This is something I have long wanted to do. The reasons are many, but just a few are these:
*members who didn't have time to read that month could go back to a selection,
*we could go back to a suggested book that lost out to a more interesting offering,
*members who don't attend book club could see what we are reading and thereby be enticed to join us.

There are two blanks where neither Neale nor I could come up with that month's selections. Please feel free to add.
