Yesterday, instead of posting to this site, I was sitting in the hair salon reading my new favorite magazine, Real Simple. In the magazine I read about something I thought was pretty cool, Invite an Author to Your Book Club.

I checked out the Web site at www.bookclubcookbook.com, and it has some wonderful tips for hosting a book club and having the author attend the meeting over the phone.

Now, I've never really participated in a book club as a reader because it's all I can do to keep up with my writing group. But, I love the idea nonetheless. The romance section of this site only features about five different romance authors, but that's bound to change. I would certainly consider participating in the future.
