Not Your Mother's Book Club Blog
Books Inc., the West’s oldest independent bookstore, started Not Your Mother’s Book Club™
with one big idea: to bring the best writers in the world to the best
readers in the world. And we're not REALLY a club. That's just our name, and really, what's in a name? We're actually just an inclusive
bunch of PASSIONATE readers who get to hang out with the coolest authors
on the scene!
We throw parties, eat snacks and read, read, read, read,
read...
We also have a lot of fun ... and we invite you to join us.
Yay books!

NYMBC goes to San Diego Comic Con!
It's true. Because you're not a real nerd until you've gone to the Nerd Headquarters, i.e. San Diego Comic Con. So Not Your Mother's Book Club braved the crowds of over 100,000 people (only 99,000 of which had camped out for the Twilight panel) and even though your faithful NYMBC representative never got dressed up as a minotaur or a storm trooper, it's safe to say nerddom was fully embraced. Check out all our pics here.
