More About Reading

I am back to reading back to my Sue Grafton books and will probably finish them all in a week. The last one is V for something and I'll be anxiously awaiting W. Our book club and I have just finished Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, and it was very good.

 

Tucson's Southern Arizona Chapter has a book club that meets in person or over the conference line on the second Saturday of each month from 2:30 to 3:30. Each of these books is available on the BARD web site or through the state library. Here's our tentative schedule for the rest of the year.
