By Women's National Book Association (WNBA)

The 2011 Great Group Reads was the first GGR list to provide 20 titles perfect for group discussions.

 

The WNBA uses the Great Group Reads lists for its own book club and holds events with Great Group Reads authors throughout the year.

 

What is Great Group Reads

 

Each year since 2009, the WNBA puts out the Great Group Reads List, a collection of books that are perfect for groups to read and discuss together. 

 

Publishers send the Great Group Reads committee hundreds of books for the committee to read with the hope that their book(s) will be chosen for the current year's list.
