Book #40 Release

*knock knock* Still there? If so, you’ll be pleased to know we have yet another author to add to our Chicken Lit Bookclub Newbie list! Book #40 is How to Be Single written by Liz Tuccillo. Notably, she has received quite the praise from one of our favorite authors with this review:

Liz Tuccillo’s debut novel is part fascinating, hands-and-lips-on anthropological study and part whirlwind trip around the world. But most of all, How To Be Single is a tribute to female friendship with a double dose of hilarity and heart!
~ Claire Cook, author of Summer Blowout, The Wildwater Walking Club and Life’s a Beach

New Bookclub Format

Hey there, Chicken Lit’ers ~

Can you say, “SIMPLIFY”? Of course you can! So here’s what we’re going to do to make our bookclub simpler:

1. Free of Timelines. That’s right, we’re throwing those reading timelines out the window. What does this mean for you? It means you can pick up and read at your own pace. If you choose to read one of our bookclub selections and then finish it, just come back and post a review/rating of the book. It’s that easy!

2. Free of Discussions. What? Does that mean we won’t have any more questions to answer? Yes & no. If you want to post a question in your review of the bookclub selection, you are completely free to do so. But from now on, we will be free of all those scheduled discussion questions waiting for your input.

3. Review Anytime. So you just finished book selection #2 when book #75 just posted? So what! Just click on the book #2 web page and review/rate the book you finished. We’ll always want to know how you rated our book choices no matter where we are in the selection process.

We’re all about making things simple. Oh, and do keep in mind that recommendations are always welcome, even if you just want us to review a certain book for you before you decide to jump in and read it.

That’s all, peeps – HAPPY READS!
