I am never quite ready for the first snow of the season, but each year it brings me back to the indoor activities that I forgot that I enjoy, like making homemade chicken pot pie and wrapping up in a blanket for a relaxing night in.

I find that my favorite kind of book club is one that meets in person. Fortunately, Wickson provides many opportunities for just that! First, there are the organized book clubs that meet at or through the library.
