There's SNOW Business Like Book Business

Who wants to think about that white stuff in May?  I'm not talking about powdered sugar.  S-N-O-W is more like it.  I don't know about you, but at the cold weather scare, taking a chance of reading a book with snow, and snow in the title, was scary to say the least.  But...needless to say, May was safe, and so was it's selection from the club.

In what was a surprising read, Blink went beyond it's expectations.  You never know what might happen when you read an "independent" published book.  Not saying that there all bad, but sometimes you dont get the quality of a good read.  That is because when it's self published, anyone can put it out there.  But, this is not the case.  This book kept our attention; made us think; and was story driven.  The bonus was also, we think, that he is local, and Pennsylvanian.  References were made to lead some to believe that there was a "Grove City" area feel to the book.

Always try a local, or independtly published author sometime.  You never know what sorts of gems might be out there, and what you are truly missing in the book world.

MAY'S SELECTION:
**** out of *****
