What's the recipe for finding a good book? It all starts with a helpful recommendation. Whether a friend fills you in on the latest book she can't put down, the bestseller charts heat up with the next must-read novel or you see an interesting review on the PCL blogs, book recommendations help readers of all genres find new and exciting reads. Be proactive in your quest for good books by signing up for DearReader's Online Book Club, a unique service provided through the library's website.
Subscribers of this free service receive daily emails with a portion of a chapter of a book. The emails only take about five minutes to read, but provide readers with enough info to help them decide whether to pass on the book or rush to put a hold on it. New book excerpts begin each Monday and readers can sign up for the Fiction, Nonfiction, Classics, AuthorBuzz or KidsBuzz clubs...or all five! To join, simply click here.
Along with interesting book suggestions, the Online Book Club also features fun contests - such as the current "Write a Dear Reader Contest." This is an annual contest held by DearReader's very own Suzanne Beecher. This year's theme is "Behind every recipe there's a story." Suzanne invites readers to submit a recipe, along with the story behind it - see a sample entry here. Winners could receive free books and more!
