Book Talk FAQs and Tips
What is a Book Talk?
It is a 30 second to one minute speech designed to encourage someone to read a book, giving an idea of plot, characters, or themes of the book, but, unlike a book report, does NOT summarize the whole plot or give away the ending or major plot points. In other words, NO SPOILERS!
