NBCC Plans

In August 2007, the National Book Club Conference (NBCC) is offering a double dose of literary fun. Earlier this month, NBCC celebrated it’s Fifth Anniversary in Ghana West Africa (Aug. 4-12) with hundreds of booklovers, one of my favorite authors Bernice McFadden (Sugar, Bitter Earth, The Warmest December, Loving Donovan, Nowhere is a Place) and other writers.

Here's a link to Bernice McFadden's blog for Ghana pics.

Morrison, Kimberla Lawson Roby, Lyah Beth LeFlore, Eisa Nefertari Ulen, Terrie Williams and singer-turned-author, Eddie Lavert. The event is being presented by Black Issues Book Review and will be held at the InterContinental Hotel in Downtown Chicago.
