Archives - Reading Group Guides Newsletter

Typically, for our book group discussions, we toss out ideas about what to read next. And in the last five minutes of the meeting, we nail down a pick. This month, we made a quick selection at the end of the night, choosing a book that someone thought looked interesting and none of us had read before. We have a group text chat, and from what I am seeing, I am not sure if anyone is going to finish the book. We do not require someone to read the book to come to the meeting. There is a lot of bookish conversation even if the assigned book has not been finished or enjoyed.

Ever feel like you do not have time to read all the books that you want to read? Even with reading advance copies and print books, and listening on audio whenever I can, I cannot stay on top of all the books that I want to read. I filled bookshelves with books from last year that I was not able to get to. And already this year, I feel like I am prepping for finals but have barely read the syllabus.
