Online Book Club
Join our Online Book Clubs.
Disclaimer: This is not a typical "book club". It's really it's a way to preview a book in your email before you decide to get the whole book-because let's face it, no one likes to be disappointed.
Every day, Monday through Friday, you will receive in your email a five-minute selection from a chapter of a book. By the end of the week, you’ll have read 2-3 chapters. Every Monday we start a new book. Sign up and start reading here.
