Chicks Having A Terrific Time Reading (Chattr)

Welcome to the new Chattr blog.  Chattr is a book club that began in November of 2002, by Chris P. The group meets monthly, usually on the 3rd Monday of each month, to discuss our selected book. Each member selects a book and hosts a meeting in her home or local dining establishments. Twice we had our meeting hosted on a boat!   Each November we celebrate the anniversary of our club by exchanging gently used books as gifts.  In December we exchange bookmarks.
