We are readers who love to travel. We make time to travel to a 'literary' destination each summer as well going to plays, movies, and exhibits together. Our group came together by way of our favorite book, the Bible, and our relationships at church. We read almost any kind of book, even some once banned books (like the Bible). Our motto could be 'so many books and places; so little time.'
