Tell us about your book club?
Building Relationships Around
Books is more than just a book club, it is family. Every day I look forward to
meeting with the family and talking about some of our favorite fictional
characters. We are so serious about our favorite book heroes, even heard one
lady had a baby by a fictional character ( LOL)
For the next step for
B.R.A.B. I would love to start a physical chapters in different locations. I
feel I can reach more people that way.
Why was it created?
BRAB stands for Building
Relationships Around Books. I decided to start a book club on Facebook in 2009
to find other readers who shared the same passion for reading. I wanted to have
discussions, as well as tons of interaction with some of my favorite authors. I
was reading so much but had nobody to talk to about the books I was enjoying. I
thought this was a great way to reach more people being online. BRAB has grown
so much over the last couple of years I now have two other ladies who help me
run the book club Prissy Parker and Denise Stokes are my book partners and
admins.
Hello! I am Sharon L Blount
The President of Building Relationships Around Books, I am from Oakland,
California. I am a medical assistant and mother to a beautiful son who has
truly taught me the meaning of love. I have not always been an avid reader
because of my learning disability. Dyslexia made reading difficult for me to
enjoy. I became true avid reader once I picked up my first African American
romance novel by Rochelle Alers; I have not stopped since then. Along the way,
I found out that I am a sucker for romance. I love happy endings and I love the
fact that love can conquer all. I also enjoy different genres such as suspense,
mystery, and true crime. I have a dream of one day writing my own books.
