Dear Reader,

I started the book clubs hoping that they'd be a fun and easy way for people to continue to find the time to read. I think maybe it's working.

Barbara read my, "I'm Having a Bad Day" column last week and sent me this email.

"Dear Suzanne: I am here to tell you that you have rekindled an old love in me for reading. When I was a teenager I loved to read. I would devour books. After my kids were born, the only chance I got to read was either when they were napping, or at night in bed for a few minutes. I began a ritual of reading in bed every night. But somehow life got in the way for a lot of years, and I stopped doing that.

Since I have been a member of your club I have been reading in bed every night, with coffee in the morning, and for a few minutes after work to relax and unwind. I am now reading at least two books a week, a lot of them you recommended to me.

So, chin up my girl. You are so important to me. Your bad day is probably someone else's best day. Thanks for the book club and for
you!"--Barbara

Thanks for reading with me Barbara. It's so good to read with friends.
