Online Book Club

Traveling MarLa’s online book club is live!
In case you missed the previous mentions of this club, it was started by my real-life friend Marla who is living in South Africa right now. She’s been discovering some wonderful African writers and wanted a way to introduce more people to them, so she reached across oceans and started a conversation. Each month she gathers questions from her readers about a specific book and submits them to the author, whose replies Marla posts at the end of the month. It’s such a cool idea, and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. I know many of the other featured readers personally, and they have contributed some smart, probing, and illuminating questions. There’s a lot of brainpower in that virtual room.
You can join the book club, too! Simply track down the next book, read it, and submit a question to Marla. Not only will you get to be part of a great community of writers and readers, but you might win a signed copy of one of the books!
Once you’ve checked out this month’s book club conversation, take a look at Marla’s blog, too. She’s having some incredible adventures and she’s generous enough to take us along on some of them through her words and pictures.
Thanks, Caroline. I’m honored to have you as a featured reader. Your questions are brilliant.
