Online Author Interviews

Did you know that there are online author interviews? The list on NPR is impressive.
Think about using that list for choosing your next book group book. Read the book, then listen to the interview as a group.
I think it brings a totally different perspective to the discussion. You get a sense of who the author is and what they are trying to get across.
Happy reading as you gear up for your fall book groups!
