Claudia, one of our readers who won copies of THIS TENDER LAND for two of her book clubs, went to William Kent Krueger's event at Tattered Cover in Denver with both groups and met him. You can see photos of them above. Claudia is wearing black and gold. She wrote, “Thanks again for the books. It was a fabulous opportunity. My book club members now want to know how I can top this!” We will see if we can come up with a way. We always are looking for fun ways for our readers to explore books with their groups!
In many ways, September feels like the dawn of a new year! It’s time to line up pre-holiday projects and establish some new goals. For your book group, you may be back to meeting again after having the summer off, or at least getting back to full attendance. Once you all get out the wine and catch up on each other’s lives, we have a lot of great ideas for your next discussion.
My neighborhood book group is reading SOMEONE WE KNOW by Shari Lapena. We had not read a thriller, and thought since this one is set in a neighborhood, it would be fun. My Long Hill Book Group is reading I.M. by Isaac Mizrahi. Most are listening to the latter as Isaac does a brilliant job of narrating, and we do love memoirs narrated by their authors.
