The Born to Read Book Club was dreamt up by WORD Bookstores and NYT Bestselling author, George O'Connor. We love middle grade books- and more than just any middle grade books, we LOVE adventure tales! Bring on the dragons, the time-travel, the magical, the mythological and the mysterious- as long as it's action-packed and takes us on a journey, we are here for it. Every month, George O'Connor and WORD's very own Nicole Swift pick a brand new adventure novel that just got released into the wild- and they wrangle it in for a high-octane read.
But we haven't even gotten to the best part.... each month, we all come together for a virtual meetup- we catch up with what's going on, welcome new readers, then we get to the book! For the first half of our meetup, we run through the book, the characters, favorite scenes, and even a few hypotheticals- and sometimes George draws his favorite character from the book and what he thinks they look like! Then..... THE AUTHOR JOINS US! That's right, each month, we get to speak to the author of the book and ask them any questions we have, maybe share our ideas for a sequel and tell them what we loved about it.
It's our favorite thing to do all month and we can't wait to read our next story and meet our next fellow-adventurer. We hope you'll join us!
