Caprice Corbett, founder of the Harlem-based Strongface Book Club, a book club the HBF supports:

I decided to launch The Strongface Book Club in Harlem as a result of my postings on Facebook, as well as conversations with many people offline about how we should get together somewhere other than a night club to talk and share ideas about something other than our lives.  Book clubs existed in the 90s and somehow we all got busy and this feels like a good time to start one again.

So, on Saturday, February 23, 2013 from 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM in Harlem the Strongface Book Club will have our FIRST meeting at The Dwyer Cultural Center located at 258 St. Nicholas Avenue (Entrance on 123rd Street Between St. Nicholas and Eighth Avenues) - Contribution is $5.00. 

The greatest thing about our first meeting is that author Karen E. Quinones Miller has agreed to join us!  An Angry-Ass Black Woman is Karen's  first book in four years and she is thrilled to be coming back home to Harlem to share her story, her journey, where she is now, what she is doing and what is coming next. Join us in our support of the Harlem Book Fair!
