Tell Us What You’re Reading June 2020
On Monday, June 15, we held another “Tell Us What You’re Reading” meeting of the Waltham Public Library Virtual Book Club. Everyone who participated shared titles of books that they’re reading as well as some shows and movies that they’ve been watching. We had a wonderful conversation and all of us came away with some more titles for our “To Be Read” lists. Below are the titles that attendees shared.
Join us on Monday, July 13 at 7:00 pm or Thursday, July 16 at 2:30 pm (or both!) to share any titles that you’re reading! E-mail Laura (lbernheim@minlib.net) for the meeting link.
