I always love to hear from readers. I know you're busy. Thanks so much for taking the time to write. Reading your email is the best part of my day.

From my Email Bag:

"Suzanne, when I first started this book club, it was a requirement for my work. I had a hard time with it, as I am an avid reader. I didn't want to wait to see what happened next. I even emailed you to let you know at one point.

As I have delved into the reads in the months since then, though, I've found so many wonderful books to read, so many new authors I never would have known existed! I have, in essence, fallen in love with the book club. I look forward to reading the installments now. I admit, I still have a hard time hitting the delete key because I worry I will miss out on another gem, but I try not to feel guilty about when I need to use it.

Anyway, your book club has won me over, and I figured you'd love to know. Thank you for taking the time to touch our hearts with your love of the written word!"

Take care, Katherine Mitchell Associate Reference Librarian / Muncie Public Library

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

Warmest regards,

Suzanne Beecher

I love waking up every morning ( during the week), it almost feels like I'm a kid again at Christmas time. I make the coffee, eat my breakfast and all the while I'm tapping my foot waiting for the moment that I can rush to the computer, turn it on and wait some more for the darn thing to warm up. Then it's warm and ready for me to go to my email to see what piece of joy Suzanne has picked out this week. I love her comments before the actual book. She always gives us a clue into her life which to me makes her more of a mentor to read with than a friend. I don't always like some of the books she choses for us but that's what this book club is all about giving us insight to books that we wouldn't normally read. I have found more treasures to read through this book club than I have books that don't interest me. I thank Suzanne every day - Monday thru Friday for brightening up my morning and my day. Thank You Suzanne
