Our American twin!

Two days of excitement in a row for the Glos Litlovers. We now have an American twin. To be fair, our American twin is more mature and a lot more classy than us, but we don't mind being the country bumpkins - we are officially INTERNATIONAL!

My new friend in the USofA is Molly Lundquist. She runs a fab website called - wait for it LITLOVERS!!!!
http://www.litlovers.com/

I found it and her by accident on Google and had to make contact, continuing our already well established stalking of all things literary. Molly turns out to be fabulous and has asked if we want to join her on-line community of book clubs.' Is Charles Dickens an author?' I said!

Her website is amazing. It is predominantly American, and not all the books are available over here, but lots of them are. It even has a recipe section, and we know that is going to be a hit with the Glos Litlovers.

To quote Molly:
'LitLovers has brought together my lifelong love of reading, writing, and teaching. The site is about WHAT we read, HOW we read, and HOW we THINK about our reading. Approaching literature in that way can change how we see our lives and the world around us.'
I am loving her style!

Susie and I are already planning live Facetime chats with book clubs in the States. We did a Facetime feedback with Lucy while she was in Portugal, so we know it is possible.

God Bless America!

  1. I'll have to ask if any if my Canadian friends are in a book club- we then have a perfect excuse to do a book club holiday exchange and visit them!

  2. Book club outing, possible holiday - this sounds great
