Are you a member of The Page Turner Book Club?

It's pretty easy, really!

All you have to do is attend one meeting!  During that meeting you put your name on the email list and you'll automatically receive monthly reminders and announcements on upcoming meetings and club information via email. 

Many make the assumption that you have to attend every meeting to be a member, but you don't!!  You are free to pick and choose what meeting you'd like to come to.  You coming (or not coming) could be based purely on your book taste, convenience, or how tuckered you might be.  There's no commitment contract and no obligation.  You might find that you get bummed when you aren't able to make it! :)

Benefits include; enjoying a monthly evening surrounded by fellow book readers, gained perspectives, an opportunity to convey a respectful opinion (about the book at hand), a chance to sign up to host your book choice of the month, author book signing and speaking opportunities, introduction to new genres of books, and tasting yummy treats the host brings to share!

Hosting is no big deal!!  Technically you don't ever have to host.  There are some of us that haven't hosted yet.  BUT, there may be a book you're itching to share a conversation with someone about.  Hosting gives you an opportunity to introduce a book to fellow members, allow them (and yourself, if you haven't read the book yet) to read and prepare for an upcoming meeting, choose some questions to ask the club, and bring a treat you'd like to share and devour during the discussion. 

If you think there is ever a quiet moment.....THINK AGAIN!  I can't recollect, ever, of an awkward, quiet, "I don't have anything to say" moment.  There's enough people per meeting that show up to pick up any potential slack. 

Don't be intimidated by the unknown!  Usually, only about 4 to 6 of us show up per meeting.  But, there's probably about 10 of us total that consider ourselves faithful members.  We really are friendly and our conversations are respectable no matter who comes or what the topic  There's an understanding with all members (and is stated in "the rules/expectation) that respect must be shown to everyone and everyone's opinions.  Everyone is reliably considerate and we just ask from any newcomers that they return the consideration.  No one takes control and everyone gets a fair opportunity to speak if they feel comfortable to do so.  Some of us come even if we haven't read the book just so we can listen in!

We're a pretty friendly group and welcome new faces anytime!

Our very first meeting was in February of 2011.  Many of us have become great friends, some of us are still new.  Many members have come and gone, but books initially brought us together. 

Consider joining us, there's always an extra seat!!
