TAKES FIVE WITH APOOO
Name FIVE authors whose books your book club enjoys reading together.

List the FOUR BEST books that your book club has read this year.
Donna’s Dilemma

Offer TWO tips for a successful book club meeting.
Meetings are a Must
Reading is a Must
If your group could have dinner with ONE author, who would be your group’s choice and why? Teri Woods, because we have enjoyed all of her books. We would love the opportunity to sit down and have a discussion with her.
GOTTA RUN BUT…BEFORE WE DEPART:
What makes your book club unique and different from any other book club?
I think we are unique because we are not just a book club but we are friends. We spend time with each other on a regular basis. We have a strong bond with each other.
Is your group currently accepting membership? If so, whom should readers contact?
Yes, we are and they can contact Tiffany @ distinctladiesandgents@yahoo.com

Hi, I’m a friend of Yvonne’s and spoke at her last conference. (I think it was her last!) She mentioned you all on Twitter and I thought I’d send you a little query for my novel This Is the Place. It won eight awards, minor but still awards including Reviewer’s Choice and a couple of Readers’ awards. The underlying theme is about the corrosive nature of subtle intolerance. There is even a study guide in the back. You can find more about the book at http://www.carolynhoward-johnson.com and while you’re there, find the resource guide on reading about tolerance in the links at the top of my pages.
Should you decide to read This Is the Place, I’d be pleased to send you all a signed label for the inside cover and gifts. Mmmm, that would be eight of you, right! The Fabulous Eight.
Very best,
Carolyn Howard-Johnson

You ladies definitely have a great looking club, and it seems as if you hold a sincere passion for reading. That is the reason I’m excited to have you read my word and ultimately meet with all of you someday in Memphis. Until then, Keep on Reading; and Keep GOD First!!

In the meantime, I encourage you to meet Day Three’s book club, Literary Divas.
Congrats Missy, YEAH!!!!!!!
Hi Ladies,
Josula, this is a really cool sight. Ladies, everyone looks really nice. This is also a very good idea(book club) to get young and old to start reading more(including me:). Reading is the key to knowledge…
HELLO DISTINCT LADIES BOOK CLUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVED YOUR SITE AND YOUR COMMENTS EVEN MORE REFLECTING YOUR LOVE FOR READING!!!!!!
YOU LOOK LIKE A GREAT GROUP OF LADIES WHOM ENJOY COMING TOGETHER TO DISCUSS SELECTED BOOKS!
GREAT MEETING YOU!
Congrats Missy on winning.
Dropping by to show some love. I would agree that it is very imperative to have a bond outside of just uniting for the sake of reading.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Distinct Ladies for opening up the cyber doors and giving us a glimpse into your book world. Book clubs make the world go ‘round. Congratulations on the success of your book club.
