[close] RLT Reads Book Club was formed by Emmy Award Winning AIDS Activist Rae Lewis-Thornton in 2011. Now we are moving the club to goodreads. The genres we will read are mostly for, by and about women, both fiction and non-fiction . We will unpack "a woman's story" each month as a way to understand the paradigms that are both real and those forced upon women. We will tackle, sex, dating, love, race, gender, self worth and misogyny. While we are dealing with important topics some of the books chosen will be fun. I am an avid reader and want to share my love for books and expose you to many different authors. I will moderate and choose the books each month. But overtime I will seek others to moderate as well as, conduct open polls on the monthly selection. All of our discussions will be via goodreads and they will start at the beginning of each month and remain open for the late comers thru the following month after the read close date. RLT Reads Book Club is open to anyone who would like to join me in the monthly book discussions. My perspective is always provocative and I want to push the envelope with every read.
