Join us as we discuss our plans for the book club and help us vote on which book we will read first. This will be a time for us to get to know each other and get an understanding of each other's goals. Currently, we have 20 books to vote on, but we will give people a chance to add to that before we vote. Everyone will choose 5 books from the list, and the book with the most votes will be the one we read first.
