AUTHORBUZZ: Discover new books, "meet" the authors and enter to win: Goto: http://authorbuzz.com/dearreader
Dear Reader,
Bookshelf Favorites is the book club theme this week. Thank you to everyone who submitted the names of their favorite books. I've sifted and sorted, and put together a fun line-up of titles that are just so darn good, we love to read them again and again.
One of my all time personal read-it-again favorites is A Walk in the Woods, by Bill Bryson. I have to admit, like watching an old Andy Griffith rerun for the umpteenth time, even though I know exactly what Barney is going to say, (I could deliver the lines word-by-word, including the gestures he's going to make) I can't help but laugh because it's so funny. And the same thing happens every time I read A Walk in the Woods. Every few pages I know the "funny" is coming up soon. My face smooches into a smile position, and pretty soon I'm laughing like it's the very first time I ever read those hilarious lines before.
Funny, serious, mysterious, I hope you'll find one of your favorite books on my line-up this week, or maybe you'll discover something new--that will become one of your Bookshelf Favorites.
This week's Bookshelf Favorites book club line-up:
Business: The Go-Giver by Bob Burg & John David Mann
Fiction: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Good News: Wrapped in Rain by Charles Martin
Mystery: Caught by Harlan Coben
Nonfiction: A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson
Romance: The Ocean Between Us by Susan Wiggs
Science Fiction: Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
Teen: Love Among the Walnuts by Jean Ferris
Thriller: Worth Dying For by Lee Child
* All of the clubs feature a Bookshelf Favorite, except the Audio and Pre-Publication clubs.
Enjoy! Let me know if your favorite was listed.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.

AUTHORBUZZ: GIRL FACTORY (NonFiction) by Karen Dietrich
Eight-year-old Karen's parents are lifelong workers at the Anchor Glass plant, where one Saturday, an employee goes on a shooting spree. This event splits the young girl's life open and she begins to seek comfort in obsessive rituals and superstitions. This beautifully evocative memoir chronicles the next fourteen years and ultimately uncovers the buried secret from her childhood--a medical file with an unbearable report.
