How to Recommend Books to Read

Video Transcript

This is Jeanna Rock, and we're discussing how to recommend a book. When you're accumulating your list of books that you're going to read for the year or suggesting the books that you might want to read for the year, our book group has recommended books in a list. We've compiled it into a list. And generally what we do is we go to Amazon or some other source, and just give their little Publisher's Weekly summary of the book. We want to have something that sounds engaging for us, we want the content to be applicable to our group, and we want to have a variety of different subject matters. So generally the information that's contained within those little summaries of the novels are very helpful in letting other group members kind of know a little bit about the book so we can decide whether we want to read that book or not. Some other times you can verbally recommend your book in the same way, where you just let them know what the book is about, why it would be important for your group to read it, and what other people are saying about the book as well.
