Beauty and Brains collide
Greetings sexy scholars, literate ladies, and brainy babes! Let’s add some edgy erudition in 2025…
This is a monthly book club featuring distaff fiction and non-fiction. Hoping to build the collective and select a title to read in December, thus affording a January maiden voyage.
- There is no cost (other than the book).
- This does not have to be a year long commitment; however, if you sign up for a given month, the expectation will be to read the chosen title and attend that monthly event.
- In-person discussion will be held over a potluck dinner at the Church of Aurora.
- Members will vote on the most convenient date and time for the collective.
- A curated list of TITLES is below.
- We will vote each month on what will be read.
