Announcing the Latest Book Sense Reading Group Picks Titles

Stores with Book Sense will be receiving the Spring - Summer 2007 Book Sense Reading Group Picks list in the May Red Box mailing; however, the full list, with bookseller quotes, can be previewed online now.

The Reading Group Picks -- launched at the suggestion of independent booksellers in the Book Sense program -- remains one of the most popular lists of the year, as the popularity and marketing relevance of reading groups continue to grow.

Recognizing the importance of the Reading Group list, Book Sense will be producing a second yearly list, which booksellers will receive in the fall.

Each year, ABA receives the most requests for additional copies of the list from booksellers, who use the list in a number of ways -- from in-store distribution to handouts at special reading group nights, where selected titles are presented to customers. The list showcases wonderful paperback titles and extends the reach of Book Sense and independent booksellers' selections into a store's backlist.

Stores with Book Sense that would like to receive additional copies of the Reading Group list -- or any other Picks list -- should e-mail Linda Ford at lindaf@bookweb.org.
