Another new website for readers

I received an e-mail from Molly Lundquist, creator of LitLovers a new website dedicated to book clubs and readers in general. Molly asked that we put a link on ReadersPlace to her site and I will do so, as well as mentioning it here.

Molly has an MA in English lit. and decided to put her eight years of teaching lit courses to good use and create this site to encourage reading for all ages. I have looked at it and like it. Please look at it and decide for yourself, while being aware that Molly may have some commercial reason as well as an altruistic one for creating the site. There is, for instance, an opportunity to shop online.

The site has free online literature courses, book club recommendations, book club resources, ideas for mothers and children. There are reading guides, hints on how to discuss books and how to conduct book groups. There is a place for real book groups to join and share their experiences and ideas.

Molly says that her goal is to make reading fun, and I believe this site goes a long way to doing that. It even includes recipes for food to go with book group meeting themes, and gift ideas for your host or hostess. I'm sorry, you gentlemen readers out there, but this site did seem to have a rather feminine bent; however, I hope everyone, male or female, will check it out to see what it has for them.
