Aloha! We have winners from last week's blogs - Glenda, Carol, and Debby win a book choice from my convention stash.
I am also a winner for attending the Washington Romance Writers (WRW) Washington Loves Readers' Luncheon. I sat with Anna Bennett and Sally MacKenzie ....
Each author treated the readers at our table to special goody bags, including copies of their books, chocolate, and other must haves for historical fans! We also enjoyed the company of Lori Ann Bailey, who just celebrated the release of her debut, HIGHLAND DECEPTION. We all drooled over the cover.
I chatted with five other readers, including four who drove down from New Jersey with Terri Brisbin. They didn't reveal any secrets about Terri ... but they shared the secret of their book club, which has met for over 20 years. The secret? Trying new genres.
I am giving away a book choice from my convention stash. To enter the giveaway, Leave a comment about book clubs - have you participated in any? The manager from BOOKS WITH A PAST (link) asked me if I would consider leading a book club ... which I am still considering. Due to shipping costs, this giveaway is open to US residents only. Comments are open through Sunday, October 16, 10 pm in Baltimore. I'll post the winner on Sunday, October 17.
Mahalo,

I have never been part of a book club. Could be fun.
ReplyDeleteNo never have
ReplyDeleteI have kept my eyes out for one but have never found one that reads what I am interested in.
ReplyDeleteme with a sad face....I never joined any bookclubs.
ReplyDeleteI have never been in a book club - I don't know of any around me either. Sounds like you had fun!
ReplyDeleteI've never been in a book club - I don't know if there is one around for the types of books I enjoy reading (mostly romances) - I've seen the books the library book club reads and I'm rarely interested in them.
ReplyDeleteI was briefly ages ago. I stopped going after a year or so. Why? They refused to consider reading something that wasn't "Fine Literature" and started mocking people who read anything else. I was done with them after that.
ReplyDeleteNever joined a book club.
ReplyDeleteNever joined one. They have one at our library.

I used to belong to one at the library, but it was dissolved. I also belonged to one at church, but I gave it up when my youngest went to school. And, I belonged to a third one for a while. I do have some online book groups.

Yes! Mixing up the genres is what keeps me going too. One can never be bored when there are so many varieties of books to choose from.
ReplyDeleteNo, I have never been in a book club.
