We had a great book club last Thursday. Due to a Relief Society activity on the 2nd Thursday in June, we moved it up to the 1st Thursday. That means we all need to get reading quickly. We are having book club at Diana's house. The book is The No. 1 Lady Detective's Agency by Alexander McCall Smith. Reserve the book at the library here or you can always buy it here. Happy reading!
