Greetings, all you efficient community organizers and laid-back band managers! In this episode, we'll recap our book club discussion of Heartbeat Braves and share our recent and upcoming reads by Indigenous romance authors. This is the first episode we've ever recorded from the same room, and it was a blast -- we hope you enjoy it, too.
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, December 12 at 11:00 a.m. PST. We'll be discussing Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory, and we would love to have you join us!
