The Next Thing on My List

What happened at book club…
Happy New Year Wormies!!  Our 2019 book club season started out with a BANG! BANG! – BANG -BANG! (insert Alison’s voice and hand motions here.) The Next Thing on My List is a light, funny and enjoyable read.

B As In Beauty

by Alberto Ferreras | Everyone in the world, it seems, is either prettier or thinner (or both) than Beauty Marie Zavala.
