What We’re Reading

April 1, 2020 By Rachel Wolgemuth

In 2011 we started the Boneyard Bookworms to bring together readers to engage in meaningful discussion set in a unique environment. 96 books later, we are still going strong, and in 2019 the Bookworms were featured in the American Library Association’s Book Club Reboot: 71 Creative Twists.

We asked our members what they’re reading during this time of quarantine, and here’s how they responded:
