Blog Action Day (BAD) is almost here. It's October 15th and the theme is really different this year it is, The Power of We. This means BAD12 is celebrating people working
together to make a positive difference in the world. BAD12 is asking bloggers to focus on celebrating people from their community or people half way around the
world that they may never meet.
Who will I celebrate in my blog on October 15th? Librarians who make a difference in their patrons' lives researching jobs, helping with resumes and cover letters? The Toastmasters club in this community which makes a difference by building self confidence and personal development? Kiwanis Clubs who are striving to make a difference with Eliminate project?
This blog is for book lovers. Initially this blog focused on the books selected by members of the Okefenokee Book Club who used to meet in Waycross, Georgia. Now, it is about my reading interests. I will also continue to post any interesting information related to writers, libraries, and book clubs in general.

Are you a Blogger? JoinToastmasters
Toastmasters Club
Readers, I have three interests: reading, writing, and speaking. Found this very interesting article titled Five Reasons Why Bloggers Should Join Toastmasters. The purpose of the article is to persuade you to join this international public speaking club. Look at number 4, your communication skills learned at Toastmasters plus your expertise on a particular subject can put you on the Professional presenter track.
If you are in Waycross or its environs, the Okefenokee Toastmasters Club meets at Quality Inn every Wednesday at 7:00am. August 20th there will be a Toastmasters Humorous Speech and a Speech Evaluation contest at First Christian Church Fellowship Hall at 10:00am, McDonald Street in Waycross. Free to the public.
Book club Selection
I started my book club August selection: The Passage. Started off with a lot of action but already the pace has slowed down. I will post my impressions as I read further on.
