I had a wonderful opportunity to be a part of a book club, that I qualified for by answering several essay questions and committed to participate in the author chats. I took a trip in February 2013 to Calfornia for The Black Box by Michael Connelly. I thought the book Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor, was an intriguing fantasy story. I reading the sequel that released shortly after I read the first book, Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. The first chat was on Facebook with Laini Taylor and several bookclub members and fans on November 28, 2012. The Chat was scheduled for an hour which went by fast while trying to read others questions and Laini’s answers. I had the opportunity to have several of my questions answered. The second chat on Facebook was about Flight Behavior with Barbara Kingsolver on January 16, 2013. The third chat was about The Black Box with Michael Connelly on February 16, 2013 in Los Angeles, California where I had the opportunity to meet him in person. The fourth author’s chat on Facebook was about When It Happens To You by Molly Ringwald on March 14, 2013. The archive of the chats with Laini Taylor, Barbara Kingsolver and Michael Connelly, and Molly Ringwald are no longer available.
Unfortunately, Sony Reader Store will closing their digital doors in the U.S. and Canada on March 20, 2014 at 6 p.m. (EST). Reader Store will transfer customers to Toronto-based eReading company, Kobo—an admired eBook seller with a passionate reading community. Although, Sony Reader Store will be closing their doors, I am thankful for the opportunity I had with the VIP Reader Club. I enjoyed meeting Michael Connelly, socializing with new reader friends and the opportunity to go to California.
Sony Readers Book Club Chat: The Black Box by Michael Connelly
I had the opportunity to meet Michael Connelly at a special event provided for Sony VIP Reader Members in Los Angeles, California on February 16, 2013. He talked to us about the book and we were able to ask him questions. He autographed my reader cover that was also given to me by Sony for being chosen to be a Sony VIP Reader Member. I felt very excited and honored to meet Michael Connelly.
