Twitter Book Club

Welcome to the Twitter Book Club, a once-a-month gathering to discuss a talked-about new book. The always lively discussion is co-hosted by Bethanne Patrick, managing editor of TheBookStudio.com, and Kassia Krozser of BookSquare.com.

Anyone can participate in the Twitter Book Club by using #tbc to comment or follow on Twitter on the night of the discussion. Or, contribute your questions and comments ahead of time below.

Our most recent discussion was about Elise Blackwell's An Unfinished Score. You can read the archived tweets.

We're delighted to welcome Unbridled Books, this month's sponsor of  the Twitter Book Club.

Hi there,

 

the twitter hashtag #tbc is being used "as to be continued".

Is there another hashtag?

Next book for book club request

Dear Bethanne:

I think the next book that should be on the book club for a free give away if possible should be, Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.  He is a great writer!! In honor of Hispanic Heritage month.  Another wonderful author is Isabel Allende who is one of my other favorites.  Let me know what you think?  I will be creating a new account on Twitter since I do not have an account with them. 

 

Thank you,

Veronica Medrano
