    Join us this month as we discuss "The Woman in the Window" by AJ Finn!

    "It isn't paranoia if it's really happening . . .
    Anna Fox lives alone--a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
    Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn't, her world begins to crumble--and its shocking secrets are laid bare..."

    There will be a potluck this month!
