Essence Book Recommendations
ESSENCE magazine has launched The ESSENCE Book Club Recommended Read program, one of the largest book clubs of its kind.
Throughout the year, ESSENCE will select a soon-to-be or recently released, classic fiction or nonfiction title by an African-American author to be highlighted. Book Club members will receive a monthly e-mail containing details of the most recent book selection, links to exclusive author forums, interactive internet chats, chapter previews, upcoming book news and prizes. ESSENCE editors will also provide online discussion questions and reader guidelines about the featured book. In addition, each selected title will feature the Essence Book Club Recommended Read logo on the book’s cover, which will be sold in bookstores throughout the country.
The first selection is New York Times best-selling author Pearl Cleage’s newest book, Baby Brother’s Blues (One World/Ballantine Books.) Cleage is also the lead author profile in ESSENCE’s March 2006 issue, on newsstands now.
For employees based in New York City, on Wednesday, February 22, 1-2 P.M., Bookstop will feature ESSENCE books editor Patrik Henry Bass for a special presentation on the ESSENCE Book Club. Patrik will discuss some of the books written by ESSENCE editors, including his In Our Own Image: Treasured African-American Traditions, Journeys and Icons and Like A Mighty Stream, The March on Washington, August 28, 1963.
Other books that will be available on Wednesday include:
Essence Beauty Basics and Beyond: 101 Ways to Keep Your Hair and Skin Fabulous
Essence: 50 of the Most Inspiring African-Americans
Making It Happen: Creating Success and Abundance
Wisdom of the Ages: Extraordinary People 19 to 90
