Dewees Island Book Club List of Books

The book club meets tonight (Wednesday 4/26) to discuss Like a Drop of Ink in a Downpour, by Yelena Lembersky, led by the Westerfields. I could not put this down, and I can’t wait to hear what people think about it.

If you are new to the island, book club meets at Huyler House at 6:30, unless there is a special exception (like the last meeting, which was held at the Andersons because the Huyler House was set up for the annual meeting).
