After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker

Personally, I'm a WAHM of a 1 1/2 year old.  Getting out of the house for me means running errands or meeting with clients.  My daughter & I just don't have much interaction with other kids and moms, unless they happen to be a c …
