[nesfa-reading-group] Something to post to meetup

[David G. Grubbs]

If I understood Liz’s  plan, this message is a one shot to all the people
signed up to the NESFA meet up. If I misunderstood, I’d like to hear about
it.

Each month someone also sends out an announcement of the upcoming meeting,
presumably mentioning the book title and author.

I’ll send another draft with your suggestion about the calendar.
