You "Go On Girl"

I think I read about your book in Essence or saw it on Oprah, can't remember, but I am so glad that I did. It has helped me start a book club with a few friends that enjoy reading, but also just enjoy the company of other african-american women. It's a great way to get away from the husband and kids and bond with your friends. One thing that we are going to add to our club is a community kitchen, we will be cooking with one another also. Great book!

A "Must Read" for the casual or serious reader!

Where else can you find: 1. The history of African American reading groups in America 2. The history of African American literature genres 3. The history of the only African American national reading group network4. Previews of the works and interviews of national best-selling, award winning authorsThis is a goldmine of information!!!!

this book was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book is just what I needed to start a book club in my area. I have not quite read all about the different authors. Telling us from start to finish is the best outline I have ever read in starting a project like this one. Thanks so much for sharing a book like this for African American women.I will keep you in touch about the one I am going to attempt to start here in Columbia ,Tn.

A wonderful smogasboard of literature

This book is more than just a guide to starting your own book club. It includes lots of excerpts from wonderful fiction that the Go On Girls members have read--folks like Tina McElroy Ansa and Octavia Butler, April Sinclair, Valerie Wilson Wesley, Diane McKinney Whetstone, Walter Mosely--a lot of great Black writers, plus Q & As with each one, and a reading guide. It was more than I expected, a delight overall.
