    “ I enjoyed my first ever book club meeting. Such a diverse group of people, with interesting insights into the book. I valued that the club members are respectful of each other's opinions while being though-provoking. I hope to meet Elizabeth next time, but the facilitator was well-qualified in leading our discussion (sorry I can't remember his name). ”

    “ The group was extremely thoughtful and had wonderful insights regarding the book. It was really refreshing to be a part of a true book group, where the book was actually read and members were enthusiastic about discussing it. Sorry I did not have a chance to meet Elizabeth, but look forward to seeing her at future meetings. Thank you! ”
