I joined the book club in 2018. I was at a stage in life where it was getting harder to meet new people. Joining the book club transformed what had always been a solitary passion to a social event. I may have joined for the books but certainly I stayed for the people I met in the club. I have hosted the club since Late 2018 when the founding host moved back to her hometown of Munich. It was lovely seeing Isabella joining us again for some of our Zoom meetings.
