December 2022 Holiday Celebration at Mary’s House

AAUW Books for September 2024 (click on link for printable version)

Note:  For past months lists, scroll to the bottom of the table for the current month and click on the link for the month you are interested in.  Going forward, I’m starting to enter all of the books into a common spreadsheet.  That way, we’ll all be able to sort (by book name, author, reviewer, or date).  The file will be stored on the google drive (but the link will be maintained below).

You may notice that the 2018 selections have dropped off the bottom of the links on this page.  I’ve entered them into the database and will try to do a couple each month.  This will help clean up this page.  I will maintain a year’s worth of .pdf files that you can simply print.

Did you know that for the past couple of years, we’ve had an Excel spreadsheet that can be searched?  I’m always wishing the Library would keep a list of books I’ve read, so I didn’t accidentally check out ones I’ve already devoured.  (Sadly, they are a little slow).  However, we have a list of the books that have been reviewed and the reviewers.  Just click on the button below.
