WE LOVE BOOK GROUPS! There we said it, we are book group groupies. We love it when friends, neighbors, and even strangers discuss books. Now we've got great news for all local book groups...
Aaron's Books is excited to announce that TWO nationally recognized (and book club beloved) authors will visit us this summer, specifically to talk to local book clubs.

The Cozies group is in for a treat with Sheila Connolly's One Bad Apple. I really enjoyed that one! I wish I lived closer so I could participate.
