I want to tell you about this wonderful book club that my daughters have loved being part of for the past two years.  It is Etta’s Book Club and it is especially for girls around 8 to 12 yrs old.  Heather Bohman of Boerne started this club to encourage girls to read more by making it a fun experience and a parents/child experience.  Every other month the girls receive a box in the mail that includes the book selection AND a craft or activity that ties into the book AND a charm to go on the bracelet they receive upon joining AND a scrapbook page to add to their scrapbook on which they write their own review of the book AND a newsletter with a letter from Etta, tips for parents to help them discuss the book with their daughter and much more. 

More information can be found at  ettasbookclub.com and by watching SA Living on WOAI (ch.4) on Wed, July 30th at 10am when Etta’s will be a feature story. 

Ms Bohman was honored to be part of the Christamore Guild of Indianapolis, IN, annual extravaganza along with five award-winning authors, including Cokie Roberts. 

I have been so impressed with the outstanding quality of every kit we have received.  I am hoping that many more girls can find this fun club and either learn to love reading or just enjoy interaction with other girls like themselves at the semi-monthly optional meetings.
