Check out our full shownotes page here, with links to all the books we discussed, to many other resources you can explore, and of course to the beverages we are enjoying.
In our book group we have fun talking about books, and provide useful information for library people doing Reader’s Advisory work. There are so many books out there that it’s tough to be an expert on all of them. So we pick a new genre each week to chat about and hopefully provide you with some insight into what may be an unfamiliar genre!
Who is joining us this week? We are very pleased to welcome Guest Host Kitt Godfrey.
Today we are talking about books that look at different groups of people, and books that will help us to learn about the ways people live. It’s going to be all over the place, but all the books have one thing in common: people are endlessly fascinating, and you can never know enough about all the different ways people are.
As always, the images and links on our shownotes page are from Amazon.com. If you click on any, and happen to buy a lovely book (or anything else!), Amazon will give us a small percent of their profits. Yay!! Thanks in advance for doing this!!
