7th Annual Blue Mind Online Book Club on Facebook

Hi Everyone...

Dr. Nichols is starting his 7th Annual Facebook Live Blue Mind Online Book Club. It will be EVERY night at 7pm Central Time through Apr 19th.

You don't even have to have the book, he reads from it each night. If you can't make it live that is ok, the sessions are posted on his Facebook page for you to view at a time more convenient for you. Below is the link, description of the sessions & schedule. Hope you can join us.

We read and discuss Blue Mind - and other related works - together.

Expect guest readers, fun insights, good conversations, new questions, deep insights and mild adventures along the way. Life and scheduling occasionally delays the live reading, but never fear, you can always watch the archived video later. Be sure to become a patron so that you'll be informed when we go live. Non-patrons will be able to watch the recorded book club episodes when they are made available. Be sure to follow our Facebook page so that you'll be informed when we post recorded episodes. Each Sunday we will consult the Readers' Guide in the back of the paperback edition as a framework for our discussion.
