A 60-Second Book Club

I love to read and enjoy talking about favorite books with friends. There are several book clubs in my neighborhood and I would love to take part but I am usually too busy to join the meetings.  

I recently discovered the second best thing; I call it my 60-Second Book Club because I can enjoy a quick book review, comments about an old favorite title, suggestions for encouraging my children to read, or insights about literacy, all in about a minute.  

It is an online weekly news column called "Book Matters" by Teri Harmon, a columnist for the KSL.com.  She also keep a blog by the same name.  Here is what she says about "Book Matters" in her bio: "Book Matters is a column dedicated to mothers who love reading and want their children to love it too. Teri hopes this column, in tandem with her blog,  book-matters.blogspot.com, will help bring more books into more homes and encourage families to read and be excited about the written word."

If you are looking for a 60-minute book club this year, I highly recommend "Book Matters".
