I’m very excited for this month’s book club pick for two reasons: I have never read Tess of the D’Urbervilles; before (so don’t ruin the ending for me!), and I plan on reading it by the water (in Bucks County) while soaking up some sunshine. Get your copy now so you can join our conversation on Thursday, June 28th. We really do want to hear what you think so feel free to leave comments, questions for others and suggestions. (more…)
