I am in two book clubs, one with six members and one with five. Each time we complete 2 book choices per person, we do an Academy Awards of our annual books. Yesterday was our final meeting of our in-person book club and our holiday brunch, this year at the new Park Grill at the museum in LR.
We had a wonderful brunch, exchanged gifts, and announced the winners of our awards.
