Centerboard 2009
Our first year as Centerboard Book Discussion Group was a good one! To help us keep track of the varied books we've read, mulled over, teared over, thought over, thumbed up and down, laughed about and discussed together, we have this new page on our site.
Also- still on our site are the links we discovered along the way.
