Sharon Blount is the president and founder of Building Relationships Around Books (BRAB) Online Book Club. She is an avid reader, but that was not always the case due to an early diagnosis of dyslexia. However, once she overcame this obstacle, she hasn’t looked back. She enjoys suspense, mystery and true crime. She also found that she is a sucker for a great romance in that she relishes happy endings and in the fact that love can conquer all.

 

Wanting to find other readers who shared the same passion and having open discussions and interactions with some of her favorite authors was what prompted her to start the book club. Since BRAB’s creation, she has discovered many new authors and readers, and the group has become more than just a book club. It’s a family, and one she looks forward to interacting with daily.

 

In the future, she envisions BRAB becoming a foundation in many states improving literacy in women, men and children. Additionally, she would like to establish groups that assist with raising self-esteem, supporting single mothers and providing aspiring authors with the tools to write and publish books.

 

Sharon enjoys graphic design, writing, and event planning. She is an Oakland, CA native, medical assistant, and mother to a beautiful son who has truly taught her the meaning of love.
