About Us
The WPHCA Book Club is an informal club started in 2024. Approximately 25 neighbors meet monthly at a member’s house with about half the group on Wednesday and the other half on Thursday - whatever works best for your schedule that month! The Highlands Book Club is open to all adults in the neighborhood. Expressing interest is not a firm commitment to participate, and you can still read the book and come discuss even if you don’t sign up. We communicate about meetings and new book selections via a WhatsApp chat but always post our latest reads here as well.
