Book Club

Join us the last Friday of every month to discuss literary fiction and selected nonfiction. I read like a writer, so this group is especially attuned to aspiring writers. I believe you need to read a lot of good books before you can write them!

Where: We meet at Center for Excellence 3803-B Computer Dr., Raleigh, NC 27609 Here’s the MeetUp Link

When: 10 am - 11:45am  It’s FREE! Please
e-mail Alice if you’re interested in joining us!
