Author Ann Hood surpassed her publisher's challenge to meet 60 book clubs around the country before her 60th birthday on December 9--the current total is 65--when she met last week with five book clubs at Hearth & Soul during her Tallahassee, Fla., book signing and talk. Her recent title, The Book That Matters Most (Norton) is about love, loss and the healing power of book clubs. Pictured: (center, seated on couch), Ann Hood, and members of the Hearth & Soul Book Club, Black Sheep, Wine, Women & Wit, Waverly Hills Afternoon Book Club, the LitWits and the 4th Quarter Book Club.
