The DCBC met on Sunday, December 18, 2022 for our holiday party and to select books for Cycle 6! Can you believe we are on Cycle 6 already?? Wow. The list of books for Cycle 6 is at the end of this post and can also be found on our Book List page.
A huge THANK YOU up at the top to Miriam who hosted and put together an amazing spread!!
In attendance were Sarah, Ashley, Paige, Emily O., and Lauren. Jessy was off on her fabulous travels, but contributed to the book swap and was with us in spirit!
We had a blast doing our book swap and chatting about all things books!
We also put together our book list for 2023. Everyone who attended the requisite number of meetings got their pick, plus a couple other books nominated and voted on by the group to fill out the year. (See The Rules! page for an explanation.)
