Just in–Causewired’s Tom Watson Will Join Us and #read4change

Thursday, October 1st, 2009 | Uncategorized

The other week, I announced a new way for us book lovers to connect in a fun and meaningful way–through an online social change book club named #read4change.

After a week of collecting votes, and a battle between Allison Fine’s Momentum and Tom Watson’s Causewired, Causewired came out on top and will be the first book we discuss.

Bonus

What’s better than friends, social media and books? Imagine getting to go to your book club–and the author shows up. That’s right. Tom Watson has agreed to join us and be available for our comments, feedback and our questions!

To Participate

Grab your copy of Causewired.
Read and reflect.
Join us November 10 at 8pm EST on Twitter
Follow @read4change and track the conversation with the hashtag #read4change.

About the Book Club

Each month, lovers of books, people and making this world a better place will gather online to discuss a social change-related book–its story, its info and how it can be applied towards our work. Ideas for featured books are always welcome. Email me at socialbutterfly4change[at]gmail.com with suggestions. Until November 10, happy reading!

Bravo to the book club on making a terrific choice! Tom and CauseWired are both terrific and luck you all for getting him in person. Thanks for considering Momentum, new book co-authored with Beth Kanter coming out in the spring on leveraging social networks for social change — all fun stuff. Thanks again!

Thanks Allison! We’ll be sure to keep your book in the mix, as well as the upcoming book–with you and Beth combining forces, I’m sure that’s one many of us will want to check out.
