Welcome to the Reading Minds book club, where I talk about books with my besties! Today, Shannon, Suzie, and I are together in the same room for the first time in over 6 months! Because of Christmas, we decided to read a book set around the holidays and Shannon settled on The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman.   As always, SPOILERS!   LET’S BE FRIENDS!
