Wrenaissance Readers
William & Mary alumni book clubs
Who we are
Alumni. Alumnae. Family & friends from W&M. Olde guard & recent grads. We represent a spectrum of majors & degrees. Generally reading the books we’ve selected, but not always. Some of us are “regulars” who attend monthly & some of us are drop-ins who join for an intriguing title. Some of us stop in just to hear the “book talk” and end up reading the title later. Or not. What matters most is that we gather to learn the way we used to when we walked the bricks on campus.

What we do
We read. Fiction & nonfiction. Sometimes both. Sometimes one. Sometimes we watch the movie. We gather monthly, sometimes taking the summer off.
Our in-person home is in Fairfax VA, at Kilroy’s . We meet the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 (sometimes earlier for dinner) to eat & drink, and we’re merrily hosted by Pip Thomas ’69. Click the button below for the group website to see what we’re reading and to register via EventBrite.
Our virtual home is hosted by our Tyson’s group, where we’ve broadened our Fairfax base to DC Metro–and beyond. We meet online the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 pm. Click the button below to email Alison, the group coordinator, for more details.
Always, we end up sidetracked by our green & gold roots.
