Voyager Book Club is on the war path as they converge at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 24, to discuss war books that each participant has read. Voyager is a unique kind of book club in that each member reads a different book within an assigned category. Every month the group focuses on a different category. On Monday, the topic is war.

In March, the group will focus on historical fiction. It’s a fun way to discover new books and authors while exploring a variety of subjects.
