We celebrate the 5th Anniversary of ReadingGroupGuides.com this month. Thank you for reading and celebrating this milestone with us. We currently have 1,620 guides available and last month nearly 200,000 unique visitors came to the website. Since we know from our research that book clubs have approximately 12 members in them, this site potentially has an impact on more than 2,400,000 readers each month. As we add guides and develop special features to surround them, we always keep our readers --- and their groups --- top of mind.
Would your group be interested in purchasing books for your discussions in quantity and receiving a significant discount on them? (Please select the response that best applies to your group.)

We had summer-like weather in the New York area this weekend, which was fabulous. It made me realize that the sun and warm weather truly invigorate me. As much as I enjoy reading indoors, I love reading outdoors even more.

Thanks to all of you who shared the special holiday celebrations that your groups enjoyed with us. Appreciation also to those of you who wrote with your thoughts about the movie based on THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN. One of my favorite comments was from Geneva Oladele, who shared this about her group. "In November we started reading THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN. Then in December we came together to celebrate Eddie's birthday as well as Christmas. The November host had made a cake in memory of Eddie with a Ferris wheel on it to represent his carnival life. We watched the movie and discussed it." I enjoy hearing ideas like this.
