Between the Covers Book Club and After Dark are our two original book clubs. They read the same books, just at a different time. There are 5 fiction titles, and 4 non-fiction titles. The titles are chosen by the current participants by voting. The 'year' begins September, we skip December, and finish in June, with another break over July and August.

Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing.
