Join Our Book Club!
Do you enjoy curling up with a good book once in awhile? Have you ever
finished a book and wished you had someone with which to talk about it?
If so, you should check out the Northwest Houston Mothers & More Book
Club!
The Book Club meets during the first Thursday evening of every month at
a local restaurant or member's home for a light meal and a discussion of the
previous month's reading selection. Members vote and decide the book list
each year.
