Tuesday It’s The Pulpwood Queens!
(Hint: For upcoming selections, CLICK HERE!) Our first selection will be The Glovemaker by Ann Weisgarber, UNLESS attending readers decide on another book!

If you’d like to order a copy, we’ll get it at a discount for you.
We will NOT discuss a book this Tuesday, just pick one to everyone’s liking and schedule the next meeting, find great book club questions for you and kick it all off.
NOTE: One of the big benefits of being a Pulpwood Queen is author access – once we schedule the next meeting we can get in touch with the author to Skype into the club to answer your burning questions!
