Book Club Alert: 2019 Great Group Reads Just Announced

Sep 22, 2019

For the past ten years, the Women’s National Book Association has created the Great Group Reads list made up of twenty novels and memoirs that are perfect for book club discussion. The list is curated by a committee of readers from around the US and is published in conjunction with October’s National Reading Group Month.

I’m delighted that No Good Asking has made the 2019 Great Group Reads list, alongside Waubgeshig Rice’s Moon of the Crusted Snow, also from ECW Press. The 2019 Great Group Reads Selections are:

 The Affairs of the Falcóns by Melissa Rivero
