My book, Remembering the Moon: a novel was just published on January 7, 2011 by Authorhouse. The book is available via paperback and ebook formats on Amazon and Barnes and Noble internet sites.

I don’t know anyone who reads romances (honestly I don’t know that many people who read period) and I’d greatly appreciate being able to discuss books with other romance readers.

(Although I may prefer to do do it through Facebook as well.)

I’ve been in book groups off and on for a lot of my life, and like you, most of them only read “serious” fiction (either classics or modern). I finally dropped out of my latest “serious” group, because I just wasn’t enjoying rereading the huge classics I’d read in college. I would love to find a romance book group, but am currently in a very fun mystery book group run by a local bookstore.

The second book isn’t in the title of the meetup, but if you click on the calendar to the full post, you should see the second book and we have books picked out through June. The book club is a ton of fun and I hope you can make it next month Carrie.

Here’s the link to the next meeting.

The extra book is by Lisa Gardner and is called The Killing Hour.

I hope to be there. I had a great time at the last one!

We started with Jude Deveraux’s Remembrance. No one showed up but me. So I kind of morphed it into a romance tea that worked pretty well annually. I would love to attend or create a book club such as the one you spoke about. I know I have an audience for the romance I keep on my library’s shelves…I just have to figure out how to turn that audience into a discussion group!

I’d planned to go, but couldn’t get through the book (Not Quite A Husband). I didn’t know about the second book, it wasn’t on the online schedule. I’ve never attended a meeting before, but since I have no irl friends who read romances, I thought it would be nice to be among fellow romance readers. I noticed online the next book was Black Hills by Nora Roberts. Is there a second book for next month? I hope I can make it!

I enjoy figuring out why they act why they act, or why a particular author protrays a character like that.I really would like to get in a online bookclub but there are none that I know of . Well maybe listening to audiobooks but I want to read/listen one book and then figure the 5 ws. I want to read other people reasons and suggestions about the characters. I also want to have variety. Force me to read historical or a christian romance ! Sorry too much free time !
