Family Book Reviews

Hi everyone! We’re starting something new here at Together Book Club. We want to get your reviews of the book club picks that we’re reading monthly. You can do the review as a family or by yourself. If you choose to send us a review, you will get several exciting things:

• The pleasure of seeing your review in print on Together Book Club!
• A free copy of the December/January book: Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor.
• A singing telegram from me, Rachel, the Together Book Club intern.

Okay, so that last one was a joke. But the first two are quite real! Please start your review by clicking here. You can also click on the heading above marked Family Book Review. The world wants to know what you think!

 

What to read next?

Many of you mentioned in our survey that you wanted to see more frequent book recommendations on the Together Book Club. That way, if you speed your way through our monthly books, you have recommendations for good books to read until the next month begins.  There are three ways to see recommendations for new books.

At the top of this page (look up) you will see a red box that says Read This. Click on it and a drop-down menu comes up.

• Read This gives you a comprehensive list of all the books that are the facilitator’s top five favorites!
• Book Club Picks gives you a list of all the books we’ve read so far on Together Book Club!
• And our newest feature, Book Recommendations! gives you bi-weekly reviews on new books! You can also get to this page by clicking on the Book Recommendations widget on the bottom left sidebar.

Let us know if you know of a great new book we should review, or if you have any other suggestions about recommending good books. As always, click on the speech bubble at the top right of this post to comment.
