BIT Book Club

Over the weekend, my friend Alanna announced a hashtag and a book club for the upcoming Bring IT Together Conference.

I was tagged in one of her many posts announcing it.

Presenting the humble beginnings of the #BIT15Reads book club! https://t.co/L76ueeq8u5 @dougpete @lboerkamp @harryniezen @CathyThier

Are you interesting in participating?

Join the club at:  https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/170190-bit15reads

As we know, timing is everything.

I subscribe to the Daily Post on WordPress.

And, just in time was this suggestion this morning ….

Franz Kafka said, “we ought to read only books that bite and sting us.” What’s the last thing you read that bit and stung you?

Can you use this as motivation to get involved?

Follow Alanna and the hashtag #BIT15Reads for more details.  There already are discussions and book suggestions.
