January NYC Book Club: Conversations with Friends

To review…

Welcome to the NYC book club!  Please note: you do NOT have to live in NYC to participate.  We will be hosting all of our discussions over instagram!

So, here’s how it will work.  Each month, I’m choosing a book for us to read together.  This is a book I also haven’t read yet.  I’ll be posting about my progress in my instagram stories and then we’ll discuss on instagram at the end of the month.  Finally, I’ll be sharing a wrap up review to the blog, including both my own opinions and the opinions of my fellow readers!  You can share your progress with me using the hashtag: #readwithbookgirl.
