Book Club

DIVA’S BOOK CLUB meets the 4th Wednesday of each month from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at Yarning for You in San Marcos. We’ve been meeting since 2006!
Our book club has no “official” membership. Feel free to join us anytime for one of our book club discussions when the book selection piques your interest.
We’ve had some lively discussions in the past – just look at the diverse list of books, see below! There’s only been a few times we have agreed 100% that we liked or disliked a book. It’s interesting and thought provoking when you find that others disagree or agree with you…. or how a character or theme relates to a life experience.
Suggestions for future books are solicited and voted on by all. We strive to choose books that are available in paperback to help keep your costs down (saving money for yarn!). Often the selections are available at your local library.
Other advantages? You get to knit during the book club – how great is that! You’ll meet new friend, knit and chat away…oh and snack…we often have snacks ranging from sweets to appetizers.
Take a look at the current Book List and consider joining us. You are welcome any time.
