Looking for a book group where you don't read a specific book to discuss, but rather meet up to get other readers' opinions on what they are reading and maybe add to your To Be Read list?
Bluffton Public Library is thinking about adding this "No-Obligation Book Group" event periodically on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday evening. Everyone would come prepared to recommend their favorite book title(s) read (or listened to) the last couple of months, and the hope is that folks will walk away with some inspiration for what to read next!
