This month I'm delighted to introduce you to not one reader but a whole group of them as the spotlight shines on The Novel Book Club of Eaton, Colorado. I've had a chance to meet the members of this book club, and I can assure you that they're a delightful group of women with an avid interest in books.
Now, let's learn a bit more about them.
How did you choose the name for your club?
We began meeting at the Novel Bookstore.
I was intrigued by the name and did a little research. It turns out that the Novel Bookstore has closed. (Sigh!) But it seems that there's a new place to buy books in Eaton. A Novel Shoppe is a combination florist and bookstore. I'm putting that on my 'must visit' list the next time I get to that part of Colorado.
When was your book club formed?
2006
I'm impressed! I've seen other book clubs have promising beginnings but end after a year or two. It's a testimony to all of you that you're still such a vibrant group.
Where do you meet and how frequently?
We meet at the Hawkstone Clubhouse in Eaton once a month.
How many members do you have?
We have about twenty ladies.
Wonderful! With that many, I'm sure you have some spirited discussions.
Are you looking for new members?
We don't actively look for new members, but we accept those who are interested in joining.
Do you read fiction, non-fiction or a mixture?
We read a mixture.
That makes it more fun, doesn't it?
How do you choose books?
Usually by a member recommendation.
Which was the first Amanda Cabot book that you read?
Summer of Promise
How did you choose that book?
Member recommendation.
My thanks to that member and to all of you who read my book.
And, readers, if you're in the Eaton, Colorado area and are looking for a bookclub, this is one you might want to consider.
