Readers and Writers - bringing book groups and authors together
Readers
Tell us about your book group - how you decide what to read, what gems you have found, what advice you have for those setting up a new book group.
Writers
Readers love to know about the writing life, its struggles and successes. Tell us where you will be doing readings - when, where and cost.
The Power of Book Groups
Some novels owe their success to word-of-mouth recommendation through book groups. These were the quiet books that received very little publicity until readers began recommending them to each other.
A few of the books that owe their success to book groups:
Number One Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith
Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres
Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood by Rebecca Wells
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
