Gal’s Guide is on an adventure to learn about women around the world in 2024 and Book Club is along for the ride! This year Katie Young and Barb Conlin are tag-teaming leading Book Club. They’ve got selections picked out through June. Selections are a mix of fiction and non-fiction.
We will meet on the last Thursday of every month at 8pm. Because of our wide reach, we’re still looking at using Zoom to meet.
We are a no-pressure book club, you don’t have to read the full book to participate. You do however have to sign up.
Book Club participants also get Passport stickers to earn free Gal’s Guide stuff.

Gertrude Bell has been a favorite for many years. The biography “Queen of the Desert” was one of the most intriguing books I ever read, and I didn’t want it too end. She got very little credit for her role in redrawing Middle East maps after WWI, archeological discoveries, and diplomacy— being on friendly terms with key Middle East officials as well as the powerful British authorities.
