Talking Books!


In USA Today's Fall Books Preview they described some books as "talkers" when they said, "Certain books are 'talkers.' They make you think, react and want to chat up your friends about what you've just read."


Here at LJW Publishing we love the description USA Today gave of the books that leave you discovering new things to think about and discuss. We thought you'd appreciate it, too!
