Something to Talk About : Creative Booktalking for Adults

Many books provide advice and booktalks for adults who work with children and teens, but Something to Talk About: Creative Booktalking for Adults is the first book to focus solely on adults. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to choose a book, write a booktalk, and publicize and present a program for adults. Cyr and Gillespie explain what a booktalk is, the benefits of booktalking, and the difference between a booktalk and a book review. They also discuss what makes a book appealing, how to tailor a program for a specific audience, and how to reach out to the community.
