Greetings and salutations, all you vivacious leading ladies and telenovela hunks! In this episode, we'll bring you a bit of lakeside birdsong, recap our book club discussion of You Had Me At Hola, and recommend some books that might bring a tear -- of one sort or another -- to your one good eye.
For readalikes, book lists, and antiracism resources, to learn more about attending a virtual book club meeting, or just to chat, find us here or email us directly at ssedell@lakeoswego.city (Shannon) or sdickinson@lakeoswego.city (Shandy). Our next meeting is Sunday, May 9 at 11:00 a.m. PST. We'll be reading The Duke Who Didn't by Courtney Milan, and we would love to have you join us!
