This has been the best experience for me! If the other participants have enjoyed this as much as I, then, we have had some ecstatic readers! AND these authors will meet with the participants at conference next week! Fun!
AND...I have the six authors/books lined up for 2018! More about that later!
This year, we hosted these reads:
- Teamwork by Amanda Mayeaux and Monique Wild
- Towers Falling by Jewell Parker Rhodes
- Jerk, California by Jonathan Friesen
- The Reading Makeover by Danny Brassell
- Fuzzy Mud by Louis Sachar
The authors of the first four met live with the book club participants on Facebook. Brassell met via Facebook video. Fun. Interesting.
For most of the meetings, I sat right here in my chair, in the comfort of my own home, with a cup of flavored coffee nearby (tonight's drink is hot apple cider...yum!) For some, though, I was in a different state; for another, I sat in a Sonic parking lot, for I could not arrive home in time to post the 5-7 questions every 7-10 minutes or so.
Having spent several hours with these fellow readers, I am really looking forward to meeting the book club participants...I hear their voices. I have appreciated their input and thoughts and suggestions. Now, I just would like to see their faces!
Won't you join us in 2018?
Grand announcement coming next week: authors...titles...going to be fun! Right here!
