National Reading Group Day 2013 - meet best-selling authors

We’ve been working with the Booksellers Association and IndieBound to bring you National Reading Group Day 2013.

We’re starting by giving reading groups the chance to Skype conversation with Karin Slaughter in September and a tea with the author in London next year. We’ll have copies of her brand new book, Unseen, for a runner-up reading group. Karin has been a generous and ongoing supporter of our work, and she is a passionate advocate of reading and the invaluable part public libraries play in local communities, spearheading the www.savethelibraries.com project.

Throughout the week we’ll also give reading groups the chance to win tickets to a Zadie Smith event in London, to enjoy cocktails with Lisa Jewell and Adele Parks, and to meet Lottie Moggach.

Get Involved

From June 29 to July 6 we’re celebrating reading groups. Each day we’ll be giving away free books and the chance to meet authors to reading groups.

So make sure that you join Reading Groups for Everyone and then add your reading group to be in with a chance of winning. Good luck!
