Book Club Full History

I used to put this information on a bookmark each year.  On the back it had all the books we had read in previous years and on the front it had the dates for the current year's meetings with blanks between them so we could write in the books as we selected them.  But now, after so many years, there is not room on the back for all the books - so I list them here for reference:
