October is National Reading Group Month

Celebrate National Reading Group Month (NRGM) throughout the month of October! An initiative of the Women’s National Book Association (WNBA), NRGM promotes the joys of shared reading, strengthens the community of the book, and promotes a more literate, engaged community.

Book Group Buzz, a Booklist Online blog, is the official partner blog for NRGM. You can find a link to Book Group Buzz in the right sidebar of this blog. According to Book Group Buzz, their contributors, "Offer informative, wise, witty, and salutary posts, as well as links to a wide range of free book group-related guides, tips and other resources."

Random House Reader's Circle is also celebrating National Reading Group Month with a special month-long event: Book Club Fest. During the month there will be podcasts of author interviews, sweepstakes, recipes, newsletter sign-ups, and much more.
