WHAT'S YOUR WORD?
Bad Girls Book Club
The Bad Girls Book Club will gather on Thursday, February 16 at La Madeleine's on Jefferson Highway.
Thursdays at Eight by Debbie Macomber is the current book. In this novel of everyday women confronted with extraordinary circumstances, Macomber tells their stories with a depth of mature insight that is both compassionate and unfailingly honest. These are women with guts and fortitude, courage and determination! But, there is no test; reading the book is not required to join the fun of the BGBC!
However, letting Monica Murphy know you will be there, is requested. Email Monica, or call 225-335-3572 so she'll know how many spaces to hold.
