Book Club Questions for The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee

March 8, 2017 By Talya Tate Boerner 4 Comments

The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee - Book Club Questions

Are You in a Book Club?

Since The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee released in January 2016, my book has been chosen for discussion by lots of book clubs around the country. This has been sooooo exciting for me and most surprising. When I can (and when I’m invited), I attend the book club meetings. So far, I’ve attended about sixteen in Texas and Arkansas, plus I have more scheduled this year.

Whether I attend or not, I’m usually contacted by the host and asked if I have an official list of book club questions. FINALLY, I have created a list of discussion questions for use in your book club meetings. Consider these simply as a jumping off point.

If you are a member of a book club, I hope you’ll recommend The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee!

I’ll attend if I can.

Plus, there’a always Skype!

Barbie and Ken

Oh my goodness. I was invited to attend the Book Babes Book Club in Hot Springs on Monday and looky who was there—Barbie, Ken plus Gracie Lee! Well, I represented Gracie Lee, of course, but Cathy S (who invited me several months ago) brought along her original Barbie and Ken (and a second Barbie).

Ken was always the man with a Barbie on each arm.

Barbie, Ken, Gracie Lee

Cathy went above and beyond not only by inviting Barbie and Ken, but take a look at these bicycle bookends! The books displayed between the bookends are all books I referenced in The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee. Continue Reading

Notes from another fabulous Book Club

October 20, 2016 By Talya Tate Boerner 13 Comments

Another fabulous book club!Yesterday I attended a book club in Lavaca, Arkansas. Lavaca, near Van Buren (which is near Fort Smith) reminded me of Savage Crossing. Boy, everything about this book club was a home run.

And I’m gonna tell you why.

Beginning with the SETTING.

Lynn, the host of this book club, lives on a ranch / farm. So right off, I felt at home. She and her husband have cattle, and they are row crop farmers. Her husband was cutting soybeans while we had book club because (to quote my Daddy) somebody has to work.Continue Reading
