Curious Endeavourances - Get Curious!
So if you hadn't heard by now, I am part of a book club that meets monthly to discuss all of our curious findings. I did/do have a small blurb of it on my Books link, but since we began posting our online hangouts live, I figured why not post them all in one place here? What possible other purpose could this website serve if not to publicly ridicule me?
All of the information about our book club, as well as access to membership and even staring in one of these videos yourself, can be found on our GoodReads page here. If you are super psyched about hearing other people's opinions about books, read about them on the Curious Endeavouraces blog here. And if you just really can't get enough of me and what I think about books, you can read all of my reviews of everything I read here. Or you can skip the readings and just watch the videos below!
Here's hoping I keep this updated!
