📚 Looking for your next great read?

Last week, our Share Your Shelf group discussed eight very different books—from Theo of Golden to Death Comes to the Archbishop. We had a wonderful time sharing what we’ve been reading, exchanging thoughts, and, of course, getting ideas for what to add to our own TBR lists!

Join us for our next get-together on September 24 at 1:00 PM. Bring a book you’ve recently read—or just come ready to hear what everyone else is enjoying. No registration needed! We’d love to have you join us. 💙📖
