Today we'd like to direct your attention to The Book's Den. This blog features "a group of authors from various writing and social groups" who write journalism, poetry, fiction and non-fiction, etc. Altogether, they have about a dozen writers participating.
What initially drew us to their blog was the post: Book Club News - Meet the Author Night, where they suggest inviting an author (perhaps even one of the contributors to that blog) to be a special guest at a book club group meeting. (We would love to have Jane Austen participate in our club, but unfortunately, we are a few hundred years late for this suggestion. :) Perhaps we could take up the idea when we begin discussing another volume.)
One of their tags is labeled Book Club Suggestions, which offers several interesting posts (such as Finding Your Next Book Club Selection). What caught our attention here was a link to their Books Carnival, which is scheduled for the third Sunday of each month.

Thank you so much for visiting our blog, The Book's Den. The main reason we joined forces was to reach out to readers like you. You are welcomed to browse our Bookshelf and find a new book for your book club and invite the author to join your group at your opening or closing night. This is a rare oportunity that I know your group members will enjoy. Feel free to stop by and comment, ask questions or find out what our authors are up to. You are welcome at The Book's Den!

Thanks for stopping by. We enjoyed visiting your site and thought that it had quite a bit to offer. The idea of having an author sit in, either at an opening or a closing session, is really quite good - either to set the stage or to tie up all of the questions at the end. We wish you success in your writing endeavors!
- the readers
