WeaveTales’ book club began with Prime Day, where those interested in joining our group could buy our book-of-the-month on Amazon. Through this, a small number of our proceeds went to WeaveTales. We thought it would be a good idea to create this virtual book club because it allowed people from all over Florida and the country to have the opportunity to discuss important topics concerning immigrants and refugees.
