Online Book Club

If you are looking for a fun way to relax and catch up on some good reading... please check out my online book club. I just set this up and am very excited about sharing it with all of you. After all- we are always looking for fun and free things to do with the kids, but what about you, Mom? Once those youngsters are tucked in for the night, pick up a good book. You'll be glad you did. The online book club does not take the place of the Relief Society book club, but I am sure there are some of you out there that would love to come to book club but cannot due to babysitting circumstances. This book club would alleviate those worries. You can participate morning, noon, or night...even 3am!! Whenever you have the time, please check out the Following Fiction blog- an online book club.

Make sure you sign up as a follower, even if you are on the fence. See you there!!

Barnes & Noble have a summer reading program for kids -they read any eight (8) books (of their own choosing) and fill out a Reading Journal, then return it to a B & N store before 9/7/09, they'll get a coupon for a free book (limited to a list they provide and it must be in stock - so the earlier you return it the better). Last year we got some really neat books. See the links section.
