I’m in the process of building up my book club. It isn’t a very quick venture, but it is something I care about. I’ve created a page for my club on Goodreads, Bookclubs.com, and Fable.

Even if my book club does not grow to hundreds or thousands of members, I feel like I’d be disobedient if I didn’t at least give it a try.
That leads me to the choice of book for this month: Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes (affiliate link). This book is a memoir that is meant to be inspirational. I’m in the mood to be inspired.
You can stop reading here, if you’d like and follow along with Ebony Page Turners on the pages I listed above. If you’re interested in why I chose this book, keep reading.
