We’re Booked: Fleurish Book Club
The best books are ones shared with sisters … and maybe ones about besties in a sorority? Debut novel The Semester by Jo Landau, UC Davis, is this month’s book club pick.
This is a story about four friends — and sisters in the Beta Alpha Tau sorority — beginning the fall semester of their senior year. A dash of Kappa nostalgia, anyone? Friendships and their sisterhood are tested as the semester continues. You’re in for a book about the enduring power of female friendships and the growing pains of womanhood during times of transition.
Tune in and meet Jo at Book Club on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 8 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. MT.
