The SWMA Book Club is for members who would like to read and discuss a book together for the purpose of informing or inspiring our collective work together and/or our individual work as SWMA members.

This is not THE reading list that we'll definitely work through, but more so a landing page for folks to add possibly relevant book suggestions. They do not have been previously read and “vetted”.

If your addition is intended as a suggestion for the book club to read in community, please provide some information about the book and how/why you think it would fit with book club goals, so that members know why you are suggesting it. Fiction and nonfiction both welcome.
