This is a space of support and ideas for our new Podcast Reading Initiative. Here you will find resources for starting a book podcast, book podcasts to explore, and connect with other readers.

Things to consider including in your review-

  • Mention questions that you would want to ask the author and why you would want to ask those questions.
  • Read a passage and explain why it is so momentous.
  • Look at the inspirations behind the book – what can you research to find out? What does the book remind you of?
  • Look into specific aspects of books – cultural impact, subjects relating to stories, etc.
  • What did you like? What did you dislike?
  • What thoughts did you have while reading? (It may help to keep a reading journal for this exercise)
  • If you were to rewrite the book, what would you change – different character, different ending, etc.

Reading selections to consider-

  • New releases
  • Audiobooks
  • Classics
  • Diversity
  • Specific genre

Bonus tips-

  • Consider discussing your title as a duo/small group
