The Shepherd of the Hill Book Club has been operating since 1995 continuously. There are still several members, including myself, who have been part of the group since its inception. 😇
In 2003-04 we started using the library book club kits, which conveniently gives us 15 books and a leader's guide but we have to make our choices from their options. 😀
I have been keeping a big mega-list of the books we've read over the years on a WORD document. For some reason I can no longer save that document as a web page and transport it to this page and bring the formatting with it. So now I am resorting to screen shots of the document. Not ideal, I know, but at least the columns aren't super narrow and unreadable. 😒
*= books I didn't read.
We've read so many great books over the past 26 years but as I look over the list there are just a hand full of books which are memorable for the discussion we held over them. Here are my
