book talk
Sharing a read
A book talk is a brief, persuasive presentation about a book, designed to entice others to read it.
Teachers and librarians commonly give book talks to students: She gave a book talk on the new graphic novel.
Unlike a book report, which summarizes and analyzes, a book talk aims to hook the audience without spoiling the story.
