Big Blue YA Book Discussion.

Join us on the fourth Thursday of the month for the Big Blue YA Book Discussion, led by Jen Sheffield. The new Young Adult theme refers to the genre of books we're reading; grownups who read YA are welcome, as are actual "young adults". The books do not have to be blue, though that's always nice.
Please note that you can purchase the current book club selection at a 10% discount!
