BPM: How do you make your book selections for the month? 

When I first joined the group the President and Vice President alternated months and picked the books, we now take suggestions from the members. Yes we have read other books that was not the book of the month and had a call to discuss the book. We may post book covers and suggestions on our own Facebook post and share them.

BPM: Do you prefer to read books by authors of color? Do you borrow books from the library?

Yes, I prefer to read books by authors of color, but I will read others also. Yes, I support self published authors and I also borrow books from the library. To add to that, I give the library a list of AA authors and their books every quarter for them to add to their selection.

BPM: Do you have any words of wisdom for other readers starting a book club?

Communication is the key to every relationship, when you have that you will have a successful book club. Be passionate about your membership, participate as much as you can.
