Drinks with Tony Book Club

In 2001 I started the column Literary Love. Here are a list of most of the books selected for the monthly column. Due to time constraints and Drinks with Tony being a larger platform to work from, Literary Love was discontinued in 2008 and is now the Drinks with Tony Book Club.

If you are a writer or publicist for any of the books listed and need the clip, feel free to get in touch...otherwise, reviews have been pulled from the website.

Thank you,

Tony DuShane, April 2008
