Love To Read? Why Not Join Ballantyne's Book Club?

I remember as a kid, belonging to the "bookworm club" at the local library and receiving a star on the bookworm for every 10 books I read.

 I love to read and reading more than ever now.

I am definitely not much of a reader but perhaps down the road sometime I will learn to enjoy it.

Nina Hollander, Broker - We share a common interest in reading. I'm a member of a Book Club and I enjoy it very much. If I lived in Charlotte, I would definitely join the Ballantyne Book Club. I have The Paper Palace and the Cloud Cuckoo Land purchased and waiting for me to read. "The Space Between Us," sounds very familiar. I read so much, I'd have to check my book shelves to see if I read it. Currently, I'm reading The Radio Operator by Ulla Lenze. My favorite author I discovered because of the Book Club is Kristin Harmel. The Book of Numbers and The Winemaker's Wife are exceptional if you're interested in stories about the German invasion during WW11. 

I love reading, but find it hard to read to a schedule for a club, just prefer to set my own timetable and enjoy what comes across my path.

This is good information to share. An interesting list of books.

Hello Nina - I have never joined a book club but your post reminds me of a quote attributed to Groucho Marx - "I don't want to belong to a club that will accept me as a member".   Although, I doubt a bibliophile would express such a sentiment, that's where my mind went.  🙃    I remember (maybe they continue today too) when cities and communities would "adopt" a book as part of a reading effort.  

Nina the Ballantyne Book Club sounds like a great club for local residence to join.  As for me, I have never been much of a reader.  I more of a picture kind of guy.  🤣

Thank you for sharing those great quotes that depict my exact thoughts about reading. I read to my oldest grandson every night on his Alexa. We get at least one or two chapters in each night of the Hardy Boys Mysteries. It is my special time with him 🙂

Hi Nina- whether it's through a book club or on your own, I'm all in favor of it!!!!

I don't know about the book club Nina Hollander, Broker  looking at the age and condition of some of those books seems kike it doesn't get a lot of fresh reading materials
