Book Groups Wiki to bring authors, book groups together: Lit covens next from organizer Mindy Klasky?

By David Rothman

image I love this idea—a Book Groups Wiki. "This wiki is designed to bring authors and book groups in touch with each other. The wiki is organized by location; some locations are further broken down by region, province, or state." Strongly recommended! Hey, writers and groups, give this one a try!

The Wiki contains home-page mentions of Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S., and I’d hope that authors and readers in other countries could also join the fun.

image image Author Mindy Klasky, a former librarian, appropriately enough, is the organizer. She lives in Arlington, Virginia, and has written eight novels, including a Barnes and Noble award-winner and others such as Socery and the Single Girl. It’s "the continuation of Jane Madison’s story, describing the trials and tribulations when a librarian-witch is invited to join her exclusive local Coven." So, Mindy, as a former law library manager and an ex-lawyer, does this mean you can invoke a spell against the DMCA and the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act?
