Join the Lake Tahoe News book club
Starting today Lake Tahoe News is launching a book club. All of you are invited to be part of it.
The goal is get people to read more — it doesn’t matter if you buy the book in print or online (though it’s nice to help authors make a living), or borrow it from the library, or listen to it.
Come and go as you like — or as you like the book.
On the first of each month a review of the book will be written. Questions will be posted in the comments section to stimulate discussion. Then it’s up to all of you to add your comments. This is one of the rare times you may comment on LTN without being a subscriber. Comments will be moderated to keep people on topic and to make sure there is no nastiness. No need to use your real name when commenting.
At the end of the review will be the title/author of the next month’s book. Suggestions for books are welcome. If you would like to review a book, please send us an email at info@laketahoenews.net with “reviewer” in the subject line.
The December book is “The Airbnb Story: How three ordinary guys disrupted an industry, made billions … and created plenty of controversy” (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2017). This book was chosen because of how the vacation home rental industry is in the news here and elsewhere. The shared economy is huge and this is one example of it.
Happy reading!

How do we sign up?
What a great idea! I look forward to reading the reviews and using some of these carefully chosen books for other book clubs, including the Friends of the Library book club that meets the third Thursday of the month at 3pm.
Maybe it is time for a Tahoe Reads selection.
No signing up necessary. Feel free to participate each month when the review comes out by sharing your thoughts about the book, or putting questions out there for others to answer.
Reviews will be posted on the first of the month. Like all LTN stories, they will be up forever, so you are not limited to that day to comment.
We will also take suggestions for books and are looking for other reviewers. The books may be suggested as a comment or sent to info@laketahoenews.net and if you want to review a book, please send us an email.
