Between the Lines book club is comprised of a group of diverse women and men of all races, ages and economical backgrounds, that reads books written by African American authors. BTL is a book club that fosters reading in Maryland and other states, that posses a passion for literature, enjoys cultural events and can appreciate the beauty of sisterhood and brotherhood. Reading books provides the tools necessary for self enrichment, and a connection with the world. It is also a forum to meet interesting and well rounded women and form lasting friendships. We make the monthly meetings lively and sometimes entertaining discussions. Books are chosen by host of the coming month or by group consensus. I keep a running list of books and authors and anyone can add to the list. Selections will consist of African American authors of fiction, non-fiction. Biographies, classics, romance, mysteries, inspirational/self-help etc. When possible we will invite the authors to join our discussions.

FB Book lovers,

Our next book discussion is on April 25, 2021. Our Book is called "Look the Devil in the Eyes" written by one of our own Washington County residents Fred Chavis. I was so excited when I heard he was an author and my book club "Between the Line" highlights African American authors. We will be going virtual again and everyone can pick up the book it's out now on Amazon! All lovers of reading are invited to discuss the book AND, speak with Fred himself. Yes....he will be joining us! I will have the Zoom info later this month.

"When I was growing up, there were two genres I watched most with my dad & late grandpa—horror & history. Even though the horror movies would scare me out of my mind at a young age I was drawn to them. As I got older, I realized that the scariest stories were not werewolves & monsters, but the true horrors of society. My stories are my voice of activism and liberation. My stories show history can be a true horror especially when history plays a role in your current state. Look the Devil in the Eyes was my favorite story to write. I fell in love with the history of Jonathan Street and through that love I found the voice to fight for it."

Hello Ladies and Gents:

I hope everyone has purchased or will be, and have started reading The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett our first book read/discussion for the new year. The date has been pushed back to January 24th at 3pm.

If you plan to attend please contact me so I can give you the zoom info.

Because this book club is virtual it is open to anyone who loves to read and discuss (women and men)

"The Vanishing Half examines sisterhood, personal identity, starting fresh, and what it means to be Black (and white) in America. Bennett is known for creating taut family dramas, and like her brilliant debut, The Mothers, this novel shows just how strong the bonds of sisters are, even at their weakest. The Amazon Books Editors named The Vanishing Half a Best Book of the Year."
