To join a discussion group, simply click the book title below. The link will take you to a Facebook Event, which is where the discussion happens. Facebook is notorious for not notifying you when there is more activity in an event, so we recommend checking back in as you can throughout the discussion period.
We host the discussion events through our Read With the Book Girls Facebook Group, so if you’re not already a member, be sure to join in order to access the discussion groups.
You can comment on existing questions, or click Add a Post (on a computer) or Say Something (on a phone) to start your own question/comment about the book. The only rule is to BE NICE! It’s 100% okay if you didn’t enjoy a book, but that should be communicated in a positive manner with specific reasons in the form of a discussion, just like you’d do if you were in a room with friends.
