Concentric Reading Circle

We meet at 2:00 PM Mountain Time on the 3rd Sunday of each month to discuss our book selection. Dates sometimes change, and there will be an announcement on the board if there is a change. Look in the Announcements forum for all new CRC information and discussion. See the Gold Star - Everything Else forum, as well. Go to the Chat Rooms! (CRC book club chats for Premium Members only).
