Soap Hub Book Club
It’s a big two-weeks coming up for our Soap Hub Book Club. So far, we’ve had a lot of fun reminiscing and reliving all the greatest daytime stories while perusing Alina Adams’ Soap Opera 451: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama’s Greatest Moments. We have to wonder, though, what comes next for our club of bookworms?
This week, we’d like to hear from you! We’ve curated a master list of books, randomly picked five, and we need your help to narrow it down for the June pick.
Cast your vote, and the majority will rule.
We’ll announce the winning book on Friday, May 26th.
Don’t forget to show up on May 31st for our very first Soap Hub Book Club Zoom get-together. You’ll get to meet New York Times Best-Selling Author Alina Adams and get a chance to win a signed copy of her new book, My Mother’s Secret: A Novel of the Jewish Autonomous Region.
