Every year the Brentwood Book Club meets not to discuss a book, but to talk about all the books we have enjoyed during the year. We eat pizza and have a good time. (In case you are wondering, Motor Town Pizza, and it was delicious.) Maybe you will join us next year.
Here are the books we discussed. You might notice that Frederik Backman has three titles in the list. Three! We hope you find something good to read and then pass it along. Keep a good thing going.
