The 2X Book Club 
(meets once a semester - one book in English/one in Spanish)
The first meeting of this book club happened in early September, we discussed how we loved and 'were disappointed' with the 2014 Pulitzer prize winning novel the Goldfinch by Dana Tart. It was a great afternoon of laughs and connections.

The Spanish title for second semester will be announced soon.  Stay tuned!
