Do you think it might be fun to have the author of the book you’re discussing present at your gathering? I have never appeared at a book club meeting, but I think it would be very enjoyable for everyone, especially the author. There are some very interesting stories behind the stories that would be fun to share, like where the inspiration came from or who the characters might be based on. I am available at no cost to appear at book clubs in the Winona,MN area, and can be reached at kjmogren@hbci.com.
