BASS BOOK CLUB
Our book club meets monthly for coffee, lunch or dinner at different locations. Selected books, date, time, and locations are posted to Upcoming Events on the BASS website. Book Club members take turns suggesting books. As we don't have a regular venue, we tend to pick a central location to encourage greater participation. Members are invited to join a separate Kakao chat group to share book recommendations and suggest great places to meet up. Below are some of the books we’ve read in the past.
Book Resources
Many Book Club members borrow or purchase books electronically through libraries or sites like Amazon, Google Books, and the iTunes store. These sites allow you to search, purchase, and download books directly to your device. As you search, be sure the titles you intend to download come in a format that is compatible with your reader app.
If reading books on an electronic device is new to you, don’t worry, it’s new to many of us! Book Club members are happy to assist.
