By Women's National Book Association (WNBA)

Are you a reader who is tired of seeing the same books on all of the "Must Read" lists and is looking for a curated list of books with a wide-range of subjects from an eclectic mix of publishers?

 

Used by bookstores, libraries, independent book groups, and solo readers, the 2016 Great Group Reads provides 21 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.
