The Brown Baggers met on December 19 to select books for the upcoming months. Each member nominated three titles and voted as a group on their top picks. The winning titles are a mix of old and new, including some local authors. As always, upcoming titles that the group will read include both fiction and nonfiction books.

The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek by Kim Michele Richardson

Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
