The Black Romance Online Book Club is THE BOMB! In May we discussed It Had To Be You by Francis Ray (One of the co-founders of the RSJ) and had a great time. Our next two selections are June 25 -- Brenda Jackson's Spontaneous July 30 -- Iris Bolling's Look Into My Heart [Please note this is book 3 of a series] Come on and join in on the fun. I know you want to talk about some of these books we're reading with others who enjoyed them. We don't wait until book discussion day. We keep the party going all month long. Our online book club is hosted at http://www.shelfari.com. You'll need to sign up for a membership, which is free, and join the Black Romance Book Club.  |
