We have never been a believer in the phrase “I’m not a reader.” We are of the firm belief you might just not have found the right book yet…one that stirs your soul and speaks to your heart. This emotional connection to a book engages others, making the book irresistible. When we give a book talk to others, we start with a brief summary, but also tell about how we connected to it emotionally. We like to think of them as mini-advertisements for books. It’s giving just enough information so you have the listener on the edge of their seat without giving away the ending. So what is a book talk? Book talks are the act of sharing a book and making it so enticing the person listening has to pick it up immediately because they were so drawn in. And, what makes book talks even more alluring is the simple fact they cost nothing and only take a few minutes. That is why we believe in the power of book talks. Simply put, books and conversations around them have a beautiful resonance. We never forget the characters we mourned, the plots that kept us riveted, and the endings that were endearing, frustrating or hauntingly gorgeous. Coming together to talk about favorite titles with friends, family, and even co-workers moves us to find more books that will inspire us, ultimately engaging us in conversations that will live in our hearts forever.

Community isn’t just where you live, it’s also the people you surround yourself with. There is nothing quite like the feeling of community that develops among people who love books.
