YP Book Club Launches!

It was fantastic to read about all your book faves in the comments of my last blog – with such diverse tastes (and fine intelligence) I’m very much looking forward to the Book Club generating some truly fascinating reviews and discussions as we work through a different genre each month.

From today, you can visit the official YP Book Club page, and add your User Name to the Member List. You’ll also see a list of fun features that will be unlocked over the coming weeks including an invite a friend option, a suggest a book area and the YP bookshelf.

Once you’ve signed up, it’s time to decide whether this month’s book is one you’d like to read. If so, get your hands on a copy (I recommend local libraries, second hand book stores, e-bay and Amazon.com) and get reading! Shortly I’ll be adding a list of questions to kick off the book club discussion. So what are you waiting for? Time to reveal the first book!

[Drum Roll Please…]

And the very first book to be read by the YouPlay Book Club in the Crime/Detective category is…

Step On A Crack by James Patterson (with Michael Ledwidge)

The poll was close but the readers have spoken, with Patterson beating Patricia Cornwall by 4%.

Book Synopsis (www.jamespatterson.com)

Detective Michael Bennett is about to face the greatest challenge of his career. After the death of a beloved former first lady, the most powerful people in the world gather in New York for her funeral. Then the inconceivable occurs. Billionaires, politicians, and superstars of every kind are suddenly trapped within one man's brilliant and ruthless scenario.

Ten adopted kids.

Bennett–father of ten–is pulled into the fray but is then hit with devastating news: his wife is battling a terrible disease. As New York descends into chaos, he faces the prospect of losing the great love of his life and having to raise his children alone.

The crime of the century to solve.

Day after day, Bennett confronts the most ruthless man he has ever encountered, a man who kills without hesitation. As the entire world watches, Bennett has to find a way out–or face responsibility for the greatest debacle in history.

Sounds exciting, look out for my thoughts soon!
