Book Club's official book is Kill Me by Stephen White

I have started our Bossier Voices Book Club’s first book called "Kill Me" by Stephen White. For new book club members it’s going to be a page turner.
I went to Books A Million in Bossier City and ordered copies of the book for the club. If you are a teacher they offer a 20 percent discount. I have joined their book discount card club and get 15 percent off. I ordered it in paperback books for us and I bought one of two copies they had available. The book is $9.95 without the discount. Those who want to join, please let me know and I will use my discount card for you if you are not a teacher.

I have not checked amazon.com prices. There also is an online book rental place similar to netflicks that will send the book and patrons must return it after they read it that costs $9 per month to join and you can read as many books as you like.

If you guys have any better ideas lemme know. I read the first chapter of the book and it’s exciting and an easy read – although, there’s a lot of directional east-west stuff I want to discuss with you ladies – men writers!

I think we should all get the books by the end of next week so we can start discussing chapter one. Please let me know if that’s doable on this blog.

BV Book Club has first meeting coming up...

The Bossier Voices first (and only) book club will have its first meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday Sept. 6 at Shogun Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Bar in Bossier City. It is free and open to the public.
The book club began as a seed of an idea and has since grown to about 25 members who can’t wait to stay up on the latest bestsellers and make some new friends.
“The book club sounds awesome,” said Jessica Ward, one new member.
Members should mark their calendars for Sept. 6 and prepare for a fun evening. At the meeting we will discuss regular meeting times that coordinate with busy schedules, and blogging about our books in the interim.
For instance, do members want to meet monthly in person? Scott Anderson, technology guru for The Shreveport Times, plans to set up a chat room at www.bossiervoices.com where members can discuss the book at any time.
We also will take the time to establish ground rules including how books are chosen, who hosts, who leads discussions and what kind of commitment is expected.
New Bossier Parish Library community coordinator Vickie Hardin is on tap to help the group to choose books. The library also will act as a venue for many in-person meetings.
Members should be ready to start thinking about whether they want the same person to host along with how the Bossier Parish Library will pick the book.
We also will talk about holidays and how they effect the Bossier Voices book club. Some book clubs take December off from reading and plan a fun event out.
No matter how the Bossier Voices book club chooses books, we also need to decide if there will be any restrictions on the choices (ie, just fiction, just paperbacks, etc.).
