What are book clubs reading? How often do they meet? Do they enjoy speaking with authors? The 2009 ReadingGroupGuides.com survey's goal is to identify trends and topics that are of interest to book groups. The information will be shared with publishers and authors so they can provide the resources needed to enhance book group meetings and discussions. The survey is only open to readers who are in book clubs.
The survey can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=JZxioOza4dvM_2byCHuqQb0A_3d_3d.
We estimate that the survey will take about 12-15 minutes to complete. As a token of their appreciation for filling it out, each of the first 2,500 respondents will receive one of 28 titles, which are being graciously provided by our publisher colleagues. All other entrants will be entered into a random drawing to win one of 200 books. See the full list of 28 titles, each of which is perfect for a book group discussion, at:
http://www.readinggroupguides.com/surveys/2009-reader-survey.asp.
The survey closes on April 30th, so if you are interested in participating, complete the survey now.
