AAUW Books for February 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).  So, in the future, I won’t archive all the lists individually, but will simply add them to the spreadsheet.  Refer to the link below in the “Past Book Group Selections” section.  I’ll start consolidating the lists as I get time, since I think that will be more useful if you’re looking for something in the past.  ~Laurie
