Book Club |
What makes a great book?
A great book is more than just a well-written story. A great book is a treasure trove of humanity so that no matter how often you open a page and start reading, there is still something new to be discovered.
JVSO Book Club is open to all members. We meet once a month on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 3:00pm at the Jersey Meadow Golf Course. All members are welcome to join in on any book club discussion whether you have read the book or not.
If you have a favorite book you think the group would like, please share it with us. All books are voted on during our meetings.
