Christmas Book Exchange: White Elephant!

As with recent years, for December please join us for a festive book swap game: White Elephant! In order to join, just pick a book that you have read and would like to regift. Wrap the book in wrapping paper and bring it with you to the meetup. The only books that are off-limits are books that we have already read in this book group.

White Elephant is a popular Christmas event where people vie to walk away
with the best present, or in our case, the best book. The rules are easy to
follow and will be explained thoroughly at the event. Everyone who brings a book will go home with a book.
