BookMovement, a website dedicated to supporting and connecting book clubs, and Open Road Integrated Media, have partnered to launch an e-book club featuring titles from authors like Alice Walker, Natalie Goldberg, Pat Conroy, and Josephine Hart.
Through BookMovement.com, readers will be able to join the club and learn about stories recommended for group reading and discussion. Open Road will also give away over 50 e-books each month through the site, and then bring readers together with their authors for online chats and discussions. Readers will also get access to additional materials, such as discussion questions, reading guides and extended excerpts.
BookMovement and Open Road said they are launching the e-book club to meet the needs of book club members who are rapidly adopting e-books. An Open Road/BookMovement survey of BookMovement’s 32,000 book clubs and their e-book reading habits revealed that over 48.5% of participating book club leaders (1,833 participants) read e-books and own e-book devices.
