Discover Your Next Favorite Book or Author with FREE Book Club Discussion Questions, Best Book Lists and More
I love helping readers discover their next favorite book or author so I’ve dedicated this page to the books I have read and want to read, book club discussion questions to get your book club talking, ways to encourage your kids to become bookworms and opportunities to hear straight from authors. The planner addict in me loves a good list so there are plenty of my favorite book lists to choose from, nearly 100 book reviews and reading challenges to expand your reading horizons and unleash your inner bookworm.
Have fun taking a look around at all the bookish discussions happening on the blog and feel free to find me on Goodreads too where I track everything I’ve read and want to read and on Instagram where I share what I’m currently reading, my bookshelf pics and mini-reviews too! I hope you enjoy the hunt to discover your next favorite book or author!
