Next Chapter Booktalking

So many books, so little time. Is your “Want to Read List” growing faster than you can read? Next Chapter Booktalking to the rescue.  Join us to be introduced to several selections that range from a humorous but touching tale of caregiving for aging parents to a treatise on a more positive view of our world and societal condition. It will be a fast-paced, fun-filled evening that will give you an overview of seven timely books. Some you will just be glad to know about in more detail, some you may decide to move to the top of your “Want to Read List!”
