message 2401: by Lyra (new)

Lyra Adams (lyraadamsauthor) Hello Lovely People! There is nothing like a good book to take you into another world and drop you in the middle of an unknown land where you realize revelations about yourself in the middle of the story. I cannot pick a fave author. I have tried but find it impossible because it all depends on what I am interested in at that phase of life. I am a writer and author of
Dreaming Synchronicity: Journey of an Empath
which is free on Amazon Kindle for this weekend only.

Kelly (armchairdreamer) | 1 comments Hello, my name is Kelly and I'm from Cypress, California. I find it very difficult to name a favorite book as I have many, and my tastes change depending on the season of life I am in. I love to read and once one book is finished, I'm on to the next! I'm really looking forward to being a part of this book club.

message 2410: by Shannon (new)

Shannon Karoglou | 1 comments Hi everyone!

My name is Shannon and I’m from the San Francisco Bay Area out in California. My taste for books is constantly evolving and changing. Lately I enjoy a good memoir or historical nonfiction book. One of the best books I have read was “A Widows Walk” by Miriam Fontana. The raw emotion and excellent writing brought an already heart wrenching time in American History much closer to my heart.

I am excited to join this book club because I LOVE to read and am looking forward to getting great recommendations as well as discussing books with wonderful people around the world!
