FCM Book Club: Year of Books

January 2012 was the first month that the FCM book club met. Book club was just a lucky decision made one night over a bottle of wine. Now almost a whole year later we are all still reading books and loving our little book club family. We don't always like the same books or the same characters,but we have fun discussing them. We can all agree that we have read some books that would have never thought to pick up and loved them. While we do enjoy sitting down and discussing the book, book club has become so much more. It has become a monthly activity we all look forward to. The food is always delicious, the drinks are plentiful, and the conversation is lively. Since it is time to start a new year of book club selections, we thought it would be fun to go back and see what we have read over the past year.
