THE LATEST NEWS ABOUT AUNTIE'S BOOK GROUPS

Two New Groups for 2012!

We've added two new groups to our roster of those that are open to new members or drop-ins. The first -- the Light and Easy Ladies' Group -- will meet on the 4th Sunday of each month from 1-2 p.m. The other - Award Winners - will meet on the 3rd Thursday of each month, at 11 a.m. and again at 7 p.m. Pages are currently being built for both groups, but information is also available in Auntie Notes (instore) or check the events calendar. If you are so excited you just can't wait, contact me via e-mail at linda@auntiesbooks.com.


Spokane (Was) Reading! 

 

On October 20, 2011, Spokane book lovers all got together under the sponsorship of Auntie's and The Spokane Libraries to hear a special talk by Mary Roach, author of Packing for Mars. She's a great speaker and a very nice lady. If you've not yet read this or her other books, get on board! Watch for news of the 2012 author and book selection.


Thanks to everyone for helping to make our Annual Book Group Fandango such a success! We sincerely appreciate your support and it is a joy to bring this annual event to our book club members. Our meeting this year is schedule for October 12th. E-mail Linda at auntiesbooks@gmail.com for more information, or call 838-0206.

Members are seen here in 2009 listening to guest speaker Amy Schoppert, sales rep for Simon & Schuster Publishers. 

A Book Group For Everyone!

Auntie's is proud to support and encourage book groups of all types. We host several groups here in the store (for more information see "Our Book Groups") and we display books for a number of groups who meet at home. If your group is registered with us, please mention to our cashiers that the book you are purchasing is for your book group and you will receive a 15% discount. If you are not registered and would like to be, please come down to the store and fill out our book group registration form or send an e-mail to linda@auntiesbooks.com.

Auntie's Book Group "Corner"

Auntie's has a dedicated set of shelves for book groups, full of tidbits of information, group selections on display and support materials such as reading guides. We also include information about special upcoming events or contests of interest to avid readers. If you're not aware of it's location, be sure to ask for a little "tour" the next time you drop in.

Bulletins

From time to time, registered groups receive an e-mail bulletin containing notice of upcoming author events of special interest to avid readers, occasional special book reviews, and other tips or information to keep you up on the latest book group opportunities. At Auntie's, we're dedicated to the enjoyment of books and to helping make your book club experience the best it can be.

Annual Book Group Fandango

Each year in October, Auntie's throws a party for book group members. In addition to refreshments, we often provide free books (advance reader copies), a great speaker and the chance to visit with like-minded book lovers.

   

At this event, we also unveil our newest list of book group recommendations for the new year. This is a carefully selected list of titles, chosen for content which will lead to great discussions, but also to represent a wide range of styles to meet varied interests. This list is then posted on this site (see Auntie's Book Group Recommendations) for your convenience.

We at Auntie's wish you an adventurous and fulfilling new reading year, and want to thank you for supporting your independent bookstore.
