Book Club

Book Club Guidelines:

• Each week, new questions will be posted for the club’s weekly discussion, specific to the previous week’s reading assignment. You can answer questions, start discussions, and reflect with your fellow readers all the next week, and anytime thereafter.

No matter what, the rules are to gab gracefully.  No catty mean comments, k?  My golden rule on the internet is: if I wouldn’t say this to anyone in person, I don’t say it online.

• While a proactive book club will benefit from timely reading, you should never let the schedule keep you from joining the group. Contribute to the discussion no matter where you are in the book!

In other words, the reading assignments and calendar are set in stone, but you can join in at any time. Discussions about chapter one will remain posted throughout the entire book assignment.

• The Book Club is open to anyone and everyone, though the discussions and application will be geared towards women in general.

• This and all future book club selections are in the GabbingwithGrace.com Amazon store. By purchasing the books through these links (along with any other Amazon purchases), you’ll support this site.  Since I do value simple and frugal living, however, I also encourage you to check your local used bookstores and libraries for these titles.
