It can be hard to find the time and motivation to read on your own- hopefully book club helped provide a bit of motivation and that it led to some wonderful new knowledge and discoveries in your Craft
Thanks again for joining in and being a part of Book Club! I am so excited to read your thoughts and learn more about the book you spent time with
Blessed be!
