VIRTUAL BOOK CLUB: THINK LIKE A VEGAN (PT 2)
For our May Book Club, we will discuss Think Like a Vegan: What Everyone Can Learn from Vegan Ethics (by Emilia A. Leese and Eva J. Charalambides, 2021). We ask that you read the book, or at least part of it, and bring a quote from the book that resonated with you, a question about something you didn't understand, and/or a comment about something you read. This will help us have a meaningful discussion. Not everyone has to speak, but it is more fun when more people contribute!
