#Bookclubradio v.4 – #Quicksand 22 Dec 2015
The time has come again for #RadioBookClub.
This is the 4th such edition we have done and this one should be really fun.
First, the logistics>>>
Date: 22 December 2015.
Time: 8:00 pm (probably)
Location: Fairfax Public Access Radio Radio Hotline.
Host: Dennis Price of Home Improvements by Dennis Price.
We will be reading Quicksand by Steve Toltz.
The publisher describes it as, “A daring, brilliant new novel from Man Booker Prize finalist Steve Toltz, for fans of Dave Eggers, Martin Amis, and David Foster Wallace: a fearlessly funny, outrageously inventive dark comedy about two lifelong friends.”
The group in the studio will be: Kristin, Ellen Clair, Heather and myself.
Should indeed be fun…and challenging.
Buy your copy at your local bookstore. I purchased mine from One More Page Books.

Thank you.

Book Club on the Radio, v. 3
Our #Radiobookclub group is doing another Book-Chat on the Radio.
The event is January 20, 2015 at 8 pm on Fairfax Public Access Radio.
We’re reading Dana Shavin’s The Body Tourist.
(cover courtesy of the author’s website, accessed 11 Jan 2015)
You can order the book directly from the publisher, Little Feather Books.
I won’t be there this time, not even as a long-distance call-in. But Jenn Lawrence of @Indiethursday and Jenn’s Bookshelves, Ellen Clair Lamb and Jill of One More Page Books will all be there to do a live-close reading, review the work as a piece of writing, and surely talk about the book’s observations on anorexia.
Listeners can call in (please do): (703)-560-8255 and maybe watch a few Tweets with the #radiobookclub hashtag.
Thank you for reading.

Book Club on the Radio, v. 2
‘Tis official, were organizing the second edition of #radiobookclub – set for June 10, 2014 @ 8 PM EST.
Sponsored by the 21st Century Librarians at Metamedia Management (yours truly), the good folks at One More Page Books. Ellen Clair Lamb and Jenn Lawrence of #INDIETHURSDAY, we’re doing another book club on the radio. We spun the wheel and have chosen another good title. This one is very different from the Elmore Leonard we read before.
This time, we’re reading THE BOOK OF LOST THINGS by John Connolly.
We’ll be going live on The Radio Hotline With Dennis Price at Radio Fairfax at 8 PM (EST) on June 10.
Please call in and talk to the panel about the book, or any other John Connolly title you like.
The number to call is (703)-560-8255 and the radio show can be streamed from the web here.
We look forward to hearing from you on the radio.
Thank you for reading.
Book Club on Radio Hotline – Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch
Yep, a Book Club on the Radio – hashtag: #bookclubradio
Sponsored by the 21st Century Librarians at Metamedia Management, LLC and the kind booksellers at One More Page Books, located in Arlington, Va / I am mediating a live book chat hosted on Radio Hotline with Dennis Price of Home Improvements by Dennis Price on Radio Fairfax – Northern Virginia’s public access radio station. Thank you Dennis.
On March 4, 2014 at 8 PM – EST we will be chatting about crime writing and mystery style in Elmore Leonard’s Rum Punch. You can order your copy of the book at One More Page Books by calling 703 -300-9746 or your local bookstore. The novel was adapted into film by Quentin Tarantino as Jackie Brown (1997) . Leonard’s style is fun and punchy. There have been several of this books adapted into film over the years and will be really fun to talk about any & all ideas we like about the book, film adaptations, or mystery writing in general. Just bring your thoughts and questions – whatever they are.
The discussion will feature live, in the studio: myself (Jesse), Terry and Ellen of One More Page Books. Even though Jennifer of Jenn’s Bookshelves book blog and #indiethursday was formerly planning to to be there, she will be promoting the event. We expect the chat to move around as we feel – though I will come prepared with a few questions and ideas. We ask that you please call in the radio at any time during the discussion so we can add more and more to the mix. The number to call-in is: 703-560-8255. If you want to join in the discussion on Twitter, you can follow or chat with any of us above under the hashtag #bookclubradio. Our names above are each linked to our Twitter profiles. It’ll be fun. Please join us.
Thank you for reading.
