With a new year just around the corner many of us may be making resolutions. Whether it is eating healthier, heading to the gym, or cutting down screen time, January is a time, at least on paper, for self-improvement. Making a promise though is much easier than keeping one, however, unless you have a plan that you can sustain. For example, I have so many books that I want to ready, yet, the call of my Netflix que seems to draw me in with its siren call.
With this in mind, I am inviting you to join me in a monthly book club. The last Wednesday evening of the month we’ll get together to discuss a different book and make response art. Recognizing that life gets hectic, you can attend all of the sessions or just when you’re available. Here is our reading list for 2022:
