EBONY PAGES' 100TH BOOK

It seems only yesterday that we began our reading journey, but here we are 100 books later. June 2010 marks the 100th book discussion for Ebony Pages Book Club. For this special occasion, we are reading "Secret Sisterhood" by Monique Miller. In celebration of our accomplishment, the author will attend our monthly meeting.

Ebony Pages Website changes

We would like to thank all of our site visitors for your emails and suggestions. We have made an addition to and removal from the site. We have recently added a rating on all the books that we've read. The rating is based on the cumulative votes from our bookclub members. We have removed the National Black-owned bookstore listing. Unfortunately due to the economy, many of these bookstores have closed. And due to the sheer numbers, we are not able to maintain this page with accurate information. We will however continue to list our local bookstores and black-owned bookstores in NC. We apologize for the inconvenience.

them you can get through, but how many can get through to you.
