Park Lake Page Turners

The current Park Lake Page Turners group is composed of over 20 people. We meet once a month to discuss the "book of the month" usually selected by me. Many of our selections have been "Book Bundles," multiple copies from our local library. Our start-up was January, 2008, following my retirement the year before. We rate each book between 1 and 5, with 5 being excellent. I also blog the books I read apart from the group selections.
