How to Do a Book Talk
The purpose of doing booktalks is to get someone else to read your book. Be passionate about what you’ve read and how you relate it. Be brief, and don’t give away the best part of the book. Share just enough, to get someone interested. Maybe the characters were really awesome. Maybe, for another person, the suspense or mystery in the story is what they really liked and want to highlight. Maybe you know that your book is similar to another book, you can share something about that as well. Remember, it is a summary, not a retelling of the book. Also, sometimes, it works to just share an actual quote or passage from the actual book. Encourage whoever it is to give it a try.
