Our Book Group meets on a monthly basis ... on the first Tuesday FOLLOWING the monthly Florida Sisters in Crime meeting.
Meetings are held at 7:00 pm at the Atlanta Bread Company (located on the NE corner of San Jose Blvd. & University Blvd.) Meetings normally conclude by 8:30 pm.
We eat, discuss the month's book selection, share information on other books we have read since the previous meeting, and exchange information on upcoming local book related events.
Meetings are open to all mystery lovers, male and female, and not soley inclusive to Florida Sisters in Crime members.
Please consider joining us!
Our reading group is associated with the local chapter of Sisters in Crime, thus we opted to be true to our "sisters" and "brothers" and read books written by Sisters in Crime writers.
Whenever possible, we are reading the first of the author's series.
If you cannot find the selected month's book, please read another book written by that month's author.
This year's selections range from psychological thrillers to cozies to hard-boiled mysteries. Enjoy!
