Become a BB Reader

Although EVERY clubie is part of the BB Book Club (as seen on this "Club House" page), to be a BB Reader simply means you are taking a more active part of our "book club of the month" fun... no obligations... just the opportunity to be more involved and be a part of our online BB Book Club.

SO... our "Secret Club" is not so secret anymore as we have made it SO easy for you to jump on board. Just click the join the book club button to the right.

Once you are in the book club the benefits and fun begin!

Here's how it works:

1. The BB reader's will show up as one of your book clubs so you can easily enjoy it as you would any other book club.

2. Each month* we will choose three great book choices and you get to help decide the monthly book pick! (To check out what the club has read so far, go to our "Past Book Club Picks" tab. To find out more about how we chose our book club picks, go the our "About the BB Book Club" tab.)

3. As an added benefit to you - you will get to know the choice a month ahead of the rest of the BB Book Club. Our BB staff likes to get our reviews in on the 1st of the month to help generate discussion right away and now YOU can be part of the early discussion!

4. All the book club information comes to you so you can easily review, rate and discuss the book with us every month because that is what makes it fun! Although, it is certainly not required....the more the merrier! Join in whenever you can all month long!

And as our numbers grow, we will be adding more opportunities for this club to interact.

* except for the two months we have "The Book Pick" contest winners.

 NOS4A2
By Joe Hill
A spine-tingling novel of supernatural suspense from master of horror Joe Hill, the New York Times bestselling author of Heart-Shaped Box and Horns. ...he can slip right out of the everyday world, and onto the hidden roads that transport them to an astonishing – and terrifying – playground of amusements he calls “Christmasland.” ...
Snapper
 Snapper
By Brian Kimberling
A great, hilarious new voice in fiction: the poignant, all-too-human recollections of an affable bird researcher in the Indiana backwater as he goes through a disastrous yet heartening love affair with the place and its people. ...creeping through the forest to observe the birds he loves and coming to terms with the accidental turns his life has taken.
The River of No Return
 The River of No Return
By Bee Ridgway
In this wonderfully imaginative debut novel, a man and a woman travel through time in a quest to bring down a secret society that controls the past and, thus, the future. “You are now a member of the Guild. There is no return.” 200 years after he was about to die on the battlefield, Nick, wakes up in a hospital bed in modern London.

 How to Be a Good Book Club Member
by Cindy Hudson

When book club members get together you can usually count on good fun, good company and great socializing. What’s not to like? But with all the fun you have at meetings, it may be easy to forget that you need to exert a little effort too if you want to have good discussions. You may balk at the idea that book club has to be work at all. Sometimes what you’re looking for after a long day at work or with the kids is just to escape. The last thing you may want is another obligation hanging over your head...  Click here to find out more about how to be a good book club member
