Hello, all you filmmaking foodies and high-powered attorneys! After an accidental summer break of several weeks, we're back to talk Juneteenth recipes, Meet Cute Club, the fantastical notion of a weekly book club, and whether purple, red, and green actually go together. We're so happy to be back with you!
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, August 8 at 11:00 a.m. PST. We'll be reading The Boyfriend Project by Farrah Rochon and we would love to have you join us!
