New Chapter of the Week: 19!!!

March 12th, 2010

I’m so thrilled to welcome the newest chapters in Book End Babes who joined this winter. For the full list, go to our Twitter BEBabes directory. This week we’re featuring chapter #19 and they are so super organized, they’ve already picked out their reads from now through January 2011.

They are an “All-for-one” chapter so they will all be reading the same book to discuss each month. All for one is the traditional book club method, but if your group is diverse and you’d like more choices in what to read simply to encourage reading, you can consider an “any four” club where your members read any of the four top picks we promote on the site or “anything goes” where your members read ANYTHING THEY LIKE but then come to book club and discuss it.

What's hot at B&N, Fort Worth?

June 23rd, 2008

 

A quick anniversary trip to the heart of Fort Worth took the book lovin’ hubby and I straight to the cool two-story Barnes & Noble to check out the latest summer offerings in person. I’m sure my fellow bookies would agree there’s nothing quite like being surrounded by thousands of books to make your head spin. So many books, so little time.  A lot of people don’t know that publishers pay for premium placement at a bookstore and corporate determines other special racks so you only know what’s being promoted in store by actually going in store. So we’ve done it for you. A few things that caught our camera’s eye…

  • STEPHANIE MEYERS’ MANIA. Everywhere I turned, there she was. Or rather, one of her books or promotion for her upcoming release. I’m a complete schmuck. I gave in and bought Twilight to see what the hub-bub is all about.
Covers that jumped off the shelf at me: Generation Dead by Daniel Waters about zombie outcasts at high school. Click here for more. 
Moose, a memoir of fat camp by Stephanie Klein. I saw so many obese kids in Fort Worth it made me choke up. A national pantry raid is in order.
Recommended summer reading by B&N: Lovely Bones (expect a big push since the movie comes out later this year), Choke, Loving Frank, Middlesex, The Pillars of the Earth, The Innocent Man, to name a shelf full.
Book I was most excited to find out is in new release: Jane Porter’s Mrs. Perfect.Expect a review in 2 weeks on A/B.
