My Interests

B~more Readers with W.I.S.D.O.M Book club honors Author Crystal Phillips for the month of April.B-more Readers with W.I.S.D.O.M (Working to Inspire Self worth through Determination, Obligation, and Motivational reading) is a book club/literary group created to integrate individuals with a passion for reading into a collective group. With our common interest of reading uniting us, our primary mission is to discover the greatest potential in ourselves and each other by allowing stimulating, entertaining, and informative literature to inspire and motivate us to serve our communities, strengthen our families, improve our relationships, and enhance our overall well being.HOW DOES B-MORE READERS WITH W.I.S.D.O.M OPERATE? We congregate on the 3rd Saturday of the month to discuss the book chosen for that particular month. Each member chooses the month in which they would like to host their meeting and the book that they would like everyone to read. The meeting place is left to the discretion of the host. Our meetings begin promptly at 6pm. We begin with prayer followed by the playing of our theme song, "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" by McFadden and Whitehead. Next, we proceed to the icebreaker which usually emulates the theme of the book of the month. Then, we discuss the matters of the club (upcoming events, suggestions, future projects, special recognition, etc.). Finally, we discuss the book of the month after the agenda has been completed and we conclude our meeting with food, fun, and lots of laughter!

I'd like to meet:

Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant talking about how they began their journey as authors and friends. You gotta love these women! WE SURE DO!!! Check it out!
