I couldn't find a book club in Maple Ridge so I thought I'd start my own. I have a bookshelf full of half read books and thought maybe if I had a little motivation, I could get those books read. If you are like me and like to read, and to discuss literature and to just sit around and drink coffee, I believe this group is for you.  We read a variety of genres, always trying something new.
