One of my favorite things is reading feedback from our readers in emails, polls, Facebook comments and other places where you weigh in. May's poll was really interesting to me as I was curious about how being in a book club expands your horizons, so we asked "What percentage of the books that your group has discussed would you have read even if you weren't in a book club?" 38% said 50%; 32% said 75%. You can read the full results of the poll here. Thus 70% of you are saying that being in a book club expanded your reading horizons at least 25%. Interesting to see!
Curious about what titles are going to be big book club news for fall 2011? At BookExpo America in New York in late May 10 publishers each shared their "book club perfect" selections. To see the titles that they selected, click here.
