Regan is a teacher, a crafter and the person who notices when somebody is standing on their own. She leads the crochet circle and hosts the romance book club. Outside the club she teaches elementary school, has read something every week for 202 weeks running, and collects bookmarks from every bookshop she visits.

The DFWYAS Book Club is the other one. It meets biweekly on a Wednesday evening and reads widely: literary fiction, fantasy, mystery, non-fiction and a fair amount that does not fit a category. Plenty of people come to both.
