The Third Thursday of the Month Book Club recently enjoyed a night in Imperial Russia with international bestselling author Bryn Turnbull in discussion of THE LAST GRAND DUCHESS.
Book club manager Simon describes their group this way, “We are a zoom book club mostly spread across Canada and USA. On our private facebook group, we currently have 364 members, but on average we get so far this year around 30 or so/month. This number can fluctuate per month depending on factors. We meet every third Thursday of the month. We enjoy reading historical fiction.”
