Online book clubs

Have you ever visited the website of the Lincoln Trail Libraries System: www.ltls.org? One of the features you will find there is the online book clubs at http://www.ltls.org/bookclubs.html Hosted by Suzanne Beecher, it offers six genre of books, of which you can read 2 or 3 chapters in a week, through daily emails. Suzanne gives you the opportunity to decide if each book is one you really want to read or not. Suzanne is an online pal. Each day she includes a newsy note about what she’s doing or thinking, and she answers emails from readers. She also offers the opportunity to enter contests and win books. And, as they say on certain TV ads, It's Free!

Which brings me to my second and final point. I won a contest, and received in the mail from Noah Lukeman (I like that name) his new book, A Dash of Style, all about our favorite topic, punctuation. It will be available soon for any Homer library patrons who wish to be better writers.
