Book clubs can be very valuable with spreading the word about an author's book, especially if they have a website because they will generally post their book of the month selections. Also, when a book club LOVE a book they will definitely spread the word, which will generate sells. I know my book club have several hits on our website and people tend to want know what we're reading all the time. I also meet people all the time that tell me that they have been watching my book club's website for years and tend to read a lot of the books that we've chosen.TaNisha Webb Book Club 101 Magazinehttp://www.bookclub101mag.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-47975517935594030722012-04-27T10:12:29.112-07:002012-04-27T10:12:29.112-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.BCU 101 Adminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290845588497239175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-24056021218582545902012-04-27T10:00:07.452-07:002012-04-27T10:00:07.452-07:00I would love to be part of a book club someday.
