Book Clubs
April 16, 2007
I’m curious how many of you are in a book club.
I actually run one. It’s an arm of our Sunday School class, the Builders Class. So I guess you could call it the Builders’ Book Club.
This month we’re reading Sharon Dunn’s Romance Rustlers and Thunderbird Thieves. A crazy title, but it all makes sense once you get into the book. I’ve already read it once and am excited to read it a second time for the club. Sharon does a wonderful job of creating true-to-life characters who mess up and struggle. And I love that she doesn’t drag you through the nastiness of the gutter but let’s you know that the gutter’s right over there.
If you’re always looking for a good read, check out American Christian Fiction Writers book club. There’s a book each month of the year and an online chat with the author once the month is over.
Well, I’m feeling a bit blech with a nasty cold so I’ll say goodbye. Don’t forget to leave a comment if you’d like a chance at winning the critique or Sharon’s latest release.

One of the things that I’ve enjoyed about the book club I go to is that it’s really expanded my reading horizons. I’ve read (and enjoyed) books in the past 2 years that I NEVER would have picked up and read on my own. It’s also good to get together with friends and discuss some of the issues that come up in the book. God has used some of the books to convict me and some of them have just been for fun. I love my book club!!
I don’t belong to any book club. I haven’t had the time to join anything like that because of school.
I also wanted to let you know that the book I won last month came in the mail today, and I’m really looking forward to reading it! Thanks so much!
I belong to the ACFW book club, but so far I haven’t participated. (SHame on me!) The timing hasn’t worked out. But I do love to discuss good books, and really dig deep. Otherwise it’s easy for me to read it and not really digest the deep stuff.
