Book Obsessed Chicks Beach BBQ Bash 2014

There is nothing better than sharing the love of reading and books with people who feel the same as you.  I feel very blessed to have met and made a wonderful friendship with the awesome woman who started the Book Obsesses Chicks, Kim Rocha!  She has brought together so many people through the love of reading romance books.  Over the years her book club has evolved to a blog and has spread all the US and Canada(maybe beyond, but I don't know that for sure)!  2014 marked the 4th annual Book Obsessed Chicks Beach BBQ Bash.  Kim brought together over 120 readers and authors to sit, chat, eat and relax with the beach a few hundred yards away!

As you can tell by the pics, it was an awesome day.  Book events are the only place that some of us get to see each other and the BOC BBQ is a truly special event. A time for making new friends and getting lots of love and laugh from those you have not seen for sometime.  I always walk away from these events missing everyone right then.  What more could one really ask for?  A day on the beach with cover models, great food, book talk with the ones that write it and awesome people.  Thanks Kim for all the hard work you put into this event.  The Book Obsessed Chicks Rock!
