By the way, this is probably a good time to point out we have made some adjustments to the club... some will be taking place soon....

Starting in February, we are going to shorten up the meeting... going from 8 to 10 instead of 7 to 11. Hopefully this will still work for everybody, but be short enough that we aren't all nodding off toward the end.

Also, I am eliminating the previous requirement of having done a book review before..in order to be on our list of book reviewers. At the moment, I've opened up the review list for additional people.....

So...if you want to review for the Naked Reader Book Club... shoot me an email!

LOL.. yes, I think we've had that discussion before. I prefer third person as well for reading aloud.

How about the dom/sub perspective. Do you have a preference on how the story is related? (I am a little behind on the conversation, so I'm not sure if this was asked already.)

I'm going to miss the 4 hour span but I suppose I'll survive.

If we already review for Naked Reader, do we need to do anything or will things just roll along as usual for us?

I personally love the Dom perspective, but hubby doesn't seem to care one way or the other.

Rachel, since you're editing the next edition of BBE, would you like to tell us a little about this new Cleis Press series, how it came about and how it's different than other BDSM collections you've edited?

That's interesting he doesn't have a preference. Usually dom/sub is such a personal thing. Though I suppose a well-written story can get to me no matter what perspective it's told from.

Corsets and Clockworks will be out sometime in the fall. I don't have a pub date yet. But I do have Dream Lover (paranormal erotic romance) due out on May 1. Do we have a date to discuss it?

I think it's a combo of the fact that he, like you, just wants a well-written story and that he's curious about both roles.

OMG please tell me we're going to do Dream Lover in the book club! Is it an anthology? Never mind... the words "paranormal" and "erotic" have me hooked already
