December Book Club - GROUP 2 : 'The Women' by Kristin Hannah

This event is a duplicate of December 4 event as that event is currently filled up + has a waitlist. Anyone who needs an extra day to read or would like to be off the waitlist should attend this book club event :)

December's Book Club's Theme is "Simply The Best" inspired by one of my favorite musical artists' Tina Turner's song "The Best" (yes, I know it's a cover) so for this month you got to vote among the best books of 2024 and the winner is.......
