WNBA Great Group Reads 2012

Are you looking for a book club selection? Did you know that October is officially National Reading Group Month (did you ever wonder who is in charge of assigning what events to what day or month?) I had a terrific opportunity through the WNBA (not the women's basketball association -- but the Women's National BOOK Association) to read a slew of books this summer and participate in the selection of their 2012 Great Group Reads. Here's the final list, which was just announced this week:

I didn't read all these books -- we were divded into reading groups --but the books I starred* I did read and wholeheartedly recommend for a thought-provoking book club selection. More about all the selections, including reading guides for book clubs can be found atwww.nationalreadinggroupmonth.org

Happy reading!!

Truly, Caroline

Oh my god, Chad Harbach is one of the new writers I'm starting to admire. There are many young talents trying to show their works as writers. And some of them are pure geniuses.

I’m really loving the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between user friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you’ve done a excellent job with this. Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Superb Blog!
