As individuals, of course, we are all 100% perfect. But I think we can all acknowldedge that once you put a bunch of us together in a group things automatically get less perfect. And as smart and wonderful as all of our book club members are, there are bound to be things that drive you a little crazy.
So today, my question is... if there was one thing you could change about your book club, what would it be?
Is the time of day or day of week not quite right for you?
Is there one person who takes over every discussion that just makes you crazy?

Leslie Margolis is the author of the hilariously funny Annabelle Stevens series, and now she’s at it again with the first installment of her next set of books, GIRL’S BEST FRIEND, which follows a heroic dog-walker named Maggie Brooklyn as she tries to save her neighborhood from a mysterious puppy-snatcher.
Mark Waid, editor-in-chief of Boom! Studios, has partnered with The Hero Initiative for a new program that will help a very worthy cause. The venture allows comics fans (and their friends and family) in California, Nevada, Illinois, and Indiana to align their supermarket rewards cards (including Ralphs, Food4Less, Cala Foods, and Bell Markets) with the Community Contributions program to help comic book creators in need of emergency medical aid, financial support, and other needs.

It's official... it's October and National Reading Group Month has begun!
In honor of this special month, the National Reading Group Month Selection Committee picks a selection of
Great Group Reads. This year they've chosen 13 books, 12 novels and one memoir.
This week, we moved servers for our websites, which is always an experience that sounds easier than it is. It’s always a bit tougher than copy/move, files/paste. As a result, some things were not working quite right, and there were a few hours that you might not have been able to “find us” during the week. We hope to have our poll page fixed as quickly as possible, so you can let us know what you think about Halloween costumes. First, we're trying to figure out why it is not performing right! We apologize for the lateness of this newsletter, and we thank you in advance for your patience.
