Book Passage in Corte Madera (details)
This group reads authors that have won literary prizes including the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle.
I decided to join another face-to-face book group. The theme for this one has a focus on literary prize winning books. I am looking forward to experiencing and analyzing these books. And, most of all, discovering why they made it to the prestigious top.

I wouldn't be any use as part of a book group! I don't read a wide range of genres now, I just stick to my favourites. I hope that you enjoy being part of your new book group and that you get lots out of it. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBeing part of a book group sounds like fun! I haven't read any of these books, so I'll definitely have to check them out :) Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend!

This sounds wonderful, hope you learn a lot and share when you have the chance :)
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about Eileen - of course mystery/thrillers are one of my favorite genres. And I am only about 1/3 the way thru DeLillo's White Noise (such a strange tale lol) but Libra could be interesting, too.
Anyhoo, have a wonderful weekend!!
It's good to push yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes. Have fun!
