Dear Reader,
Kaye and Mindy are passionate about reading. Don't ya' love it? I sure do!
From my Email Bag:
"Dear Suzanne, I don't know how you select the books and I certainly can't improve on what you do, but I have come across a new author that I just love and thought I'd share her name with you since you have shared so many good authors and books with me! Her name is Susan Gregg Gilmore and she wrote Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen. Her book was published in February and after I read it I wrote her to say how much I loved it. She wrote back. I wrote back. Bottom line is last week I traveled three hours to her book signing (at That Bookstore in Blytheville). It's in Arkansas and when you go on your book tour you should really consider going there! I joined Susan for dinner before the event. She is delightful! Warm, witty, and genuine! You would really love her and the book! I would love it if you would consider looking at this book, but I hope I'm not offending you by suggesting it. I am such a fan of yours!"--Your friend in books, Kaye Richardson
"Suzanne, I recently joined a book club at work with a friend of mine...to my surprise, because I always considered myself a non-reader. I never read anything unless I had to. When my friend joined the club and tried talking me into joining, I declined. I told her that I didn't like to read. Well, after hearing her and another 'cluber' discuss the current book they were reading I became interested. I am on my fourth book with the club and have read three books on my own since February. I must admit--I am hooked!! I actually look forward to coming home from work and sitting down to read instead of watching TV. I also joined my local library where I signed up for your weekly book club emails. I have been receiving them for about three weeks. I really enjoy reading your column and also the excerpts from the books and I've started a list of books that I would like to read. I ask everyone if they read. If they say 'yes,' then I tell them about your book club. I just wanted to say thanks for your emails."--Mindy
If you have a book you'd like to recommend, please let me know.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Warmest regards,
Suzanne Beecher
