We have a very generous cousin who has all the paperbacks digitalized, so there will be no trouble with anyone who is interesting in reading along, but I do ask that only the people who are going to be part of this to let me know their top five picks. From that, we can narrow the field and go from there.
My choices for the MFU Book Circle are:
1.
2.

Once a week
Once every other week
Once a month
