The Sacred Scroll

This is our sacred scroll of books including ones that we have already read and suggested selections we are working our way through. It is a living document; in that it also holds selection suggestions from group members as they are made to use as a pool for selections. This list is predominantly what our current selections are decided from, but not always. As such, it lists our past selections, current selection, and on deck books. It also lists book club suggestions and adds them up into the 'Ready Reads section when we've tackled the suggested book. Suggestions are initialed by the group member who made the suggestion. We update this list periodically.
