I love these! It gives me ideas of what to read for myself, as a buddy read and for my book club! I can’t get enough of these’

The best novels in Mystery, Suspense, Romance, Memoir, Literary Fiction, and much more are all included in one book. The book's goal is to make it easier for readers to choose their next book to read and for book club leaders to browse novels and genres and choose which ones would be a great fit for their group.

I enjoy how the Readers' Advisory comes before the book overview and author information. This is useful for librarians in assisting patrons in finding their next favorite book and one that their book club group will adore.

Some Readers’ Advisory include ReadALikes. It first shows the novel’s cover for example; Agatha Arch Is Afraid of Everything by Kristin Bair is included. The Readers’ Advisory states: “Fans of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Elinor Oliphant Is Completely Fine will love this clever romp” this by Publishers Weekly. Then it gives an overview of the book. Discussion questions for this book. Are included, anywhere from 4 – 7 per novel. Here’s one example “Which characters did you most relate to and why? Were there characters you disliked?

This is a wonderful resource where leaders and readers get a peek at what is heading down publishing row for the fall/winter season. It helps you plan ahead.

This is a great resource for book clubs! Not only do you get a list of ideas for books with a short synopsis, you also get discussion questions. I wish more of these were available.

What a great forever resource-- I want every Book Club Brochure! Whether it's for informing book club choices or adding to my personal TBR, library holds, and to-purchase lists, this is a useful text.

This brochure provides a clear overview of interesting books. Not only for book clubs, but also for individual readers. It's very practical how the cover and synopsis are presented first, followed by a few sample questions that could enhance the reading experience (you can find even more questions on the website mentioned at the bottom of each page). These questions do not only enquire about favourite aspects of the book. They also try to make you connect the book with your own life, experiences and perceptions. The presented books are part of a very diverse selection, not shunning specific themes. At the end, there are also suggestions for specific groups, like Teen Book Groups and Spanish-Language Book Group, this is also a real added value to thebrochure. On top of this, the layout of the brochure is really appealing.
I'll definitely consult this brochure and the others in search of relevant recommendations and book club questions for our next book of the month.

This a a great resource for book lovers, book clubbers and librarians, it provides numerous books and descriptions to help entice your next read.

I really enjoy Bookish resources and will keep an eye out for future editions.

4/5

This is such a great recourse for a book club that isn't sure what book to pick next. Very helpful for teens and adults who want a summery and also discussion questions.

I just discovered this great resource and it is amazing. I am going to try to catch up with the latest issues as I know it will be so helpful with the book club I just took over at my local library.
Thank you Netgalley for this gift!!

Wow, This is a Book Club brochure which is an excellent resource for readers to think of what to read next. I wish I could read some of the suggested some of the favorite book titles: The opium Prince, Agent Sonya, The Thursday Murder Club, Glamour Girls, Wider than the sky, Perestroika in Paris. This Book Club brochure has suggested titles and sample discussion questions for my library. I have signed up in the link for the chance to win free books.

Thank you Netgalley, I just reviewed Book Club Brochure Vol. 21 by Various. #NetGalley

This is such a perfect collection of books that helps to narrow down what to choose next for book club! I love the brief description and the discussion questions that help to facilitate a group discussion. I have already picked a few to choose for my next meeting!

Book Club Brochure Vol. 21

Pub Date: February 21, 2021
As the leader and selector of books for our library book club, I found this brochure especially helpful.
Loved the book synopses and recommendations in this magazine. I also loved that there were lots of discussion questions included. Overall a nice guide of many genres.
I may see if I can download some of the other issues.
5 stars

As I have started Book Club so I am looking for some helpful books with some ideas of how it might be organised. This brochure is amazing! Thank you very much for so useful information!

Loved the book synopses and recommendations in this magazine. I also loved that there were lots of discussion questions included. Overall a nice guide of many genres.

Ok, so I'm late to the game but HOW COOL ARE THESE BROCHURES?? Admittedly, even though I have high aspirations of starting a book club- I probably won't anytime soon. I even added some of these books to my TBR as I've never heard about them. (Go figure, the FB or IG algorithm buries books unless it's a popular author)

This is cool in general, I don't feel it necessarily HAS to be catered to a book club (but the popular conversation questions are a bonus!). I would like these monthly (or even weekly) to see what's new and upcoming. Yes, I know I can add my email to the never-ending mailing lists for an author or publisher but honestly- they are sooooo overrun with marketing and links/promo that it's nice just to have a document that is concise and to the point- Title, Author, ISBN, Publisher, Format, Hook (and a note that if you like {insert title here} or are a fan of {insert author(s)} here that this book may appeal to you), and then a brief description of the book.
I would actually use these to add to my WL or my TBR or even to discuss with friends to see if it's on their radar and we could buddy-read.

Suggestions to improve would be adding genre, publish date and page count as that will assist people being able to scan through and determine what book will be suited for their next book club read!

Will definitely keep an eye out for these!! A++

These booklets are the PERFECT way to pick your next book club. Details on each book in various genres is a must have. As someone who has run several book clubs, this is the perfect addition to find out about upcoming releases.

Interesting idea, not very nice looking but does the job and could be an inspiration for booksellers, librarians or teachers wanting to create a similar guide with books of their choosing to discuss with clients, members or students.

Avid readers and less-passionate ones will find their next great book(s) to read in BOOK CLUB BROCHURE VOL 21 from Penguin Random House. Whatever your favorite type of story, you will find new treasures in the remarkable array of titles with thoughtful descriptions and questions for book clubs. As member of a long running book club eager to read and discuss books as well as our lives, I imagine that other readers and book club members will find their own gems in the guide, along with prompts and suggestions to elevate and deepen conversation. I received an advance reader copy of this book and the opinions expressed are my own, unbiased thoughts.

This is a fantastic Brochure. I will definitely lookout for more of them. Every page includes a book recommendation. Books are well-chosen and across all genres. Each book recommendation includes a description of the content, some advisory about the book for the reader, and a collection of discussion questions. This is a phenomenal tool for book choosing of a book club and also guiding through the discussions after reading the book for the next meeting.

I love these kind of resources!! Thank you for gathering all this information in one place. It is so helpful to my Book Club when we have a guide like when attempting to make our choices of book to read each month.

Thank you to @netgalley and the publisher for this free eARC.
I find this publication really helpful for both the inspiration on the next reads and also nice question to get the discussion started.
You don't necessarily need to be in a book club, you can use these templates for booktube or bookstagram.
I would like to get this every month!!!
