October Book Club: The Woman in Cabin 10

Please join us on Monday, October 17, at 7:30 at Laura Lisien’s home (240 Warwick Dr) for October’s book club meeting to discuss Ruth Ware’s novel, The Woman in Cabin 10. Even if (or perhaps especially if) the last thing you read was Good Night, Moon, please come for the laughter, food and drinks. I know this has been written often, but if you don’t have time to read the book please come anyway. Reading the book may be an easy way to create a common connection, but forming friendships certainly doesn’t involve required reading.
