I recently had someone buy 8 paperbacks of ‘Blackbird Fly.’ Yay, readers! This made me wonder, not for the first time, if a book club is reading the book. (I once had my own book club read it, nerve-wracking!)

It seems like a good time to post a few Book Club Questions for the book. I’d love to hear from you if your book club is reading/has read any of the books. (I am available for a Zoom drop-in– write me at Lise @ lisemcclendon . com — remove the spaces). More to come on other books… stay tuned!
