The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Have you ever convinced someone to read a book, a series, or a whole genre? What book(s)? Who was it? Did they like it?

ANSWER:

Our book club encourages reading just about EVERYTHING! We vote on monthly group reads to discuss. Sometimes we hate 'em; sometimes we love 'em. The most important thing is to have fun, right?
