If you missed Booklist's Book Group Buzz webinar (for shame!), we've got the scoop for you until the webinar is archived.
You can download the full title list from all publishers here. (Warning! The excel file downloads immediately.)
All of our buzzed books are shown above, but here are a few snippets from Talia's buzz to tempt you to tune in next time:
"What do Edith Wharton, Daphne du Maurier, Jane Austen, "Upstairs, Downstairs," and People magazine have in common? THE AMERICAN HEIRESS has been compared to all of them." On THE AMERICAN HEIRESS
"A dead mother. An abusive father. A plot to escape. A sister has been left behind!" On THE SISTERS
"I have to take a second to thank Julia for writing some steamy moments between Reverend Claire and Chief of Police Russ. What could be better?" On ONE WAS A SOLDIER
"If you have a puppy, had a puppy, or have puppy-owning friends, you must start a puppy book club just to read this book." On THE PUPPY DIARIES
"Are we looking at those kittens? Hello? Kittens anyone?!" On BEST FRIENDS, OCCASIONAL ENEMIES
Check out our dedicated book club website, Reading Group Gold, for more recommendations.
[UPDATE] Our friends over at Booklist have posted all of the slides from the presentation for you here: http://www.BooklistOnline.com/media/webinars/materials/Book_Group_Buzzing.pdf. And they have posted the full audio-visual presentation, which you can watch here.
Until next time!




The Book Buzz webinar today was fantastic!
I am a librarian recently graduated from the University of Washington (in June 2011) and would love an advance of Jeffrey Eugenides new novel, The Marriage Plot.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
And thanks again for a great webinar.

This was an excellent webinar. I have a Fiction Book Club at our library and it was a great help to me. I would like a copy of the Marriage Plot, and I would love to be put on a list for any advance galley copies you can send. We purchase 10 copies per BookClub meeting in paperback - so I can look at hardback for a future purpose or paper for use right now. Thanks again, I'm going to download the webinar. Could you do a webinar like this once or twice a year? The panelists were excellent - for me this was much better than many webinars - Thanks!

Dear Emily,
Thank you for your very kind note! We would love to send you a copy of the Marriage Plot but we've run out. Meh!
I hope that you don't hate us too much.
Hugs,
Talia
