Books That Bind Us, Atlanta
Founded in 2005, the Books That Bind Us Book Club in metro Atlanta has been a stalwart in church and community. The group actually formed after meeting at the '04 NBCC. They were in separate reading groups, and elected to create their own after "the inspiration we received received at the NBCC," president Stephanie Brooks said. The members are Stephanie, Carol Heath, Lisa Horne, Verna Waller, Monica Heath and Dionne Bennett. Lisa also started a Mother/Daughter Book Club. Books That Bind Us lost one member, Jean Barnes, to cancer in April 2005. She, however, was able to fulfill a lifelong dream of meeting her favorite author, J. California Cooper at the 04 NBCC. |

Last book you read: Multiple books, including "Outliers" (Malcolm Gladwell); "After The Hell" (China Ball); "The Barack In Me (Moses Miller)

Last book read: Reading Eric Dickey's Resurrecting Midnight. It already has me behaving badly - like stopping at red lights and pulling out my Kindle. I had a great summer of reading - read 7 books in August!
Most fun city to visit: There's not a place like where I was born and raised - New York, New York. There is an energy in that city that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. When I need an energy boost, I don't drink Red Bull, I go to the Big Apple!
If not an author: I'd be teaching writing! I love teaching and I love writing so, it's a natural! (Not very exciting, huh?) |
