[nesfa-reading-group] which version?

[A. Ali]

Hi All,

I also did not get a hold of this book and will not be attending tonight's
session. Will likely be skipping out on a few more this spring as well --
just have a lot of stuff going on at the moment. That said, I think it's
been about a year since I joined, so I wanted to express that I appreciate
this space. It's been helping me overcome some personal struggles around
speaking up when I have a different perspective or opinion from others in a
group. Thanks for that and Happy New Year. : )

Best,
Ayesha
