Lenore and I were talking about books we have read and liked recently, as well as books we’d love to reread and experience again. Then we got to discussing books that have fallen into these categories that haven’t seen enough discussion and haven’t been shown enough attention.
That’s when we thought: why not start a book club of sorts?
“The Best Books You’re Not Reading” is a very informal book discussion she and I will be spearheading, and we hope you will join us.
All you have to do is read the book and join us on Twitter for the discussion. If you can’t join us there (or even if you can), we also encourage you to blog about the book and share your thoughts. Our goal is to get these titles a little more exposure and have a broader discussion of those books that haven’t received the attention we think they should.
Three weeks from today — March 29 — we will have our first discussion on Twitter starting at 6 pm EST, and we’ll be chatting about this book:
Pick up a copy at your library or purchase a copy and join us for what should be a really fun discussion about one of our favorite under-appreciated titles. We’ll use the hashtag #MBTH to get the discussion started.
I'm in…I've had this title on my kindle for awhile but keep starting other books.
Now you have no excuse to pick up something instead of this one!
Been meaning to read this one since a reader reviewed it for iheartdaily.com!
Great idea. x

I cried like a baby at the end — it was unexpected in the best possible ways, like the reviewer you linked to said. Hope you can join us!
I will try to join in. My Beating Teenage Heart sounds really good!
Don't think I'll be able to join in because of the time difference (I'm in the UK), but I've had this on my wishlist for a while and will definitely be checking it out 🙂
