The Water Dancer
By Ta-Nehisi Coates


Young Hiram Walker was born into bondage. When his mother was sold away, Hiram was robbed of all memory of her—but was gifted with a mysterious power. Years later, when Hiram almost drowns in a river, that same power saves his life. This brush with death births an urgency in Hiram and a daring scheme: to escape from the only home he’s ever known.

So begins an unexpected journey that takes Hiram from the corrupt grandeur of Virginia’s proud plantations to desperate guerrilla cells in the wilderness, from the coffin of the Deep South to dangerously idealistic movements in the North. Even as he’s enlisted in the underground war between slavers and the enslaved, Hiram’s resolve to rescue the family he left behind endures.

This is the dramatic story of an atrocity inflicted on generations of women, men, and children—the violent and capricious separation of families—and the war they waged to simply make lives with the people they loved. Written by one of today’s most exciting thinkers and writers, The Water Dancer is a propulsive, transcendent work that restores the humanity of those from whom everything was stolen.... read more

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.

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. (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.)

2. 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. 


 
 
         
 




The Ten Thousand Doors of January
By Alix E. Harrow

In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.

Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own. read more

 
         
 
         
 



The Secrets We Keep
By Lara Prescott
At the height of the Cold War, two secretaries are pulled out of the typing pool at the CIA and given the assignment of a lifetime. Their mission: to smuggle Doctor Zhivago out of the USSR, where no one dare publish it, and help Pasternak's magnum opus make its way into print around the world. Glamorous and sophisticated Sally Forrester is a seasoned spy who has honed her gift for deceit all over the world--using her magnetism and charm to pry secrets out of powerful men. Irina is a complete novice, and under Sally's tutelage quickly learns how to blend in, make drops, and invisibly ferry classified documents.read more

Cryptic Spaces: Book One: Foresight

Cryptic Spaces: Book One: Foresight
By Deen Ferrell
Willoughby sees patterns where others don't. His brilliance in mathematics allows him to uncover puzzles hidden in plain view. When a carved symbol leads him to the barbershop of Antonio Chavez, he finds himself in a world where nothing is as it seems. His friend, Antonio, is far more than a mere barber. Captivated by the famous and beautiful Sydney Senoya, he learns of a musical talent that can reach beyond the living. His new friend, James Arthur, proves to have strange healing powers. Even feisty T.K., their crew liaison on the company yacht, has startling secrets to hide. Determined to uncover the truth behind the supposed seer, Nostradamus, the team finds itself lost across the corridors of time, fighting for their lives. Does Willoughby alone, have the skill to save them?
