Hillary,Would you consider calling in to a book club? We have a book club that has about 22 members. When speaking with authors, we combine our group with another book club giving us about 33 members. We would love to discuss Mudbound with you in the upcoming year if that is something that you would consider. We are located in Charlotte, NC.
Thanks,
Sharon
