March 2011
March is the bridge month between winter and spring. In most parts of the country, there’s still some time to lay a fire in the fireplace and curl up with a book, but there are also days where you feel the sun shining brightly and a few birds starting to chirp, and you realize spring IS on the way. The clocks change this weekend, which means we get one less hour to read, but somehow the words "Daylight Saving Time" just seems to brighten my mood.
Beyond what you read with your book group for discussions, do you spend time during your meetings just talking about books you love?
