Book Club Blog

Dulsanna, I was just checking the blog to make sure I knew which books were for this month, which was good, because I would have been a week early.  I noticed that in the "other book suggestions" tab, the lilac gardens are shown as in Woodburn, but it is actually Woodland, WA.  (Wouldn't want someone to drive to the wrong place!)
I'm so excited to go there next year!
