After a delay (we usually like to announce all the book in at least January), HLAA-TC Book Club is happy to announce that ALL of the books from NOW until December 2026 have been placed on our Book Club Page on our Website with brief synopses for each book. Below is a chart that shows the books and months they are assigned (along with the BARD # -Braille Audio Reading Download- service for the blind, for those members who need to access the books that way.) We like to plan a yearly schedule like this for several reasons: so it’s easier to plan ahead and schedule author guests (we’ve had many over the years, see our webpage for a list of books read and authors had), and so our members can read ahead if they choose to. Please join us at an upcoming book club: it’s free and open to all!
