If you haven’t heard about Great Group Reads, well, it’s the first year that this list of books selected for their discussability is making an appearance. I volunteered to coordinate the group of readers for this new National Reading Group Month initiative. It was hectic but fun! We were ten readers from around the country; we all read a group of books, discussed them virtually and chose nine titles, fiction and nonfiction. The list is below, but here’s a link to the Great Group Reads website with links to information about each book, including links to discussion guides.
