Book Talk is a monthly book discussion group taking place on
the Ventura/Santa Barbara/San Luis Obispo/Kern SCBWI listserv. As the
facilitator of Book Talk, Lynn Becker polls members for interests, chooses
books for discussion, schedules when the books will be discussed, and
kicks off discussions on the first of each month. Readers may join in
anytime during the month with comments, questions, or anything else they
care to contribute about the featured book.
Books are chosen to reflect a variety of genres. Lynn says, "We
try to discuss them from both the pleasure of the reading experience,
as well as to address points of interest to ourselves as writers."
Book Talk is open to all members of Southern California SCBWI who are
signed up for the regional listserv.
