Fictionistas Bookclub

Welcome to the “Fictionistas Book club!”

 Birthed in 2008, our group has read over 100+ books and has made the best of  friendships.

We analyze each work of fiction through the eyes of our life experiences and Christian faith, with loads of wit, and gales of laughter. Over coffee and baked goods, our fellowship is a delight. Each woman who belongs to this group is intelligent, kind-hearted, and full of charm.

I LOVE book club!!!
