The Reader's Bar discussion

by Rosalyn Story

by Kalisha Buckhanon

by Ernessa T. Carter


by Bernice L. McFadden

by Denise Nicholas

by Edward Kelsey Moore

by Attica Locke

by Persia Walker

by Jewell Parker Rhodes

by Keith Lee Johnson

by Barbara Hambly

Ok so a "few" turned into several! Lol! But...from chick-lit to mystery...I've heard and read good things about each of these. Oh, and I think the last 4 titles are each a first book in a series.

Ok, I see. Lol No there is no particular theme.

32 Candles seems interesting.

32 Candles is a great read. Its entertaining and touching at the same time. I def laughed out loud a few times.

I will definitely have to read that one then. Thanks

What is your vote for us to read in August?

Hello ladies! I was wondering if your group showed any love to self-published authors? I'm a newly published African-American author and I'd love to throw my title into the mix for one of your upcoming discussions. I can even throw in discussion questions AND participate in a live chat (maybe via skype? or even in person if anyone is located in the NYC area).

Just figured I would ask. Here are details on my title. AND I'm having a giveaway right now in case anyone would like to throw their names into the ring now :) Happy reading ladies and please let me know your thoughts if you are able.

Frozen Time is the story of 3 college seniors who find themselves embroiled in an interracial love triangle while dealing with painful issues of their pasts. It's about love...about class..about race. Ultimately it asks the question: is it possible to truly love another without first learning to love yourself?

Ciao,

That sounds like a great idea. Yes, we would be interested in reading your book and having you participate in our discussion or a live chat.

Denise

Oh that's wonderful. Just let me know which month you guys would like to read it. I'll create discussion questions and send to you. And I can look into the Skype option also if you ladies are not in the NYC area.

Take care for now ladies.

Maybe we can read your book in September if we can get everything together in time. Let me know what you think.

How does everyone feel about reading 32 candles next month?

September works well for me. I can be free any Saturday or Sunday for the book club chat. I'll look into the video chat option and keep you posted.

Thanks so much

Frozen Time sounds really interesting and would be a great selection for our September read. I vote for it!

Lindor, thanks for the reading selection recommendation!

Thanks so much Kanita. And it looks like ooVoo will work for a video conference version of the September book club meeting. Can't wait to chat with everyone.

Guessing it's a go! Requested 32 Candles from my local library. Looking forward to picking it up soon!

Sure, we would be interested. Would you be interested in participating in the group discussion?

32 Candles, so far a good read.

Leslie wrote: "32 Candles, so far a good read."

I think so too. I just finished it last night. Come join the conversation in the August Book Discussion-32 Candles section of the group. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Leslie wrote: "32 Candles, so far a good read."

What are your thoughts so far? What do you think of Ms. Davidia Jones?

Hello everyone!
I began reading today so I'm not too far along but 32 Candles has started out really good! I believe this one will be hard to put down! And, as far as Ms Davidia Jones...she's smart, sassy, and an absolutely funny, fresh new character! I am a fan of Davidia Jones!!!!!!

Can't wait to read more and discuss it over on our 32 Candles discussion thread! See everyone there! : )

I agree that Davidia is all those things and I would add calculating. Let me know if your image of her changes as you read further in the book.
