Battle of the Books – Battle of the Books will meet in small groups in which you get to talk about similar books with your friends - just like real book clubs! We hope this will shift the focus toward us - the readers - and how we interact with the settings, plots, and characters we love. We look forward to learning more about you as we share books together!
There is a competition in February, and we may have up to 12 participants. You DO NOT have to be on the competition team to participate in our BOB book discussions! Non-competitors may sometimes help the competition team to practice and study, but they don't have to memorize anything. Competitors, you are responsible for reading several of the books, paying attention to details, and memorizing both the author and the full title (as printed on the official list).Club Sponsors
