book talks
Author discussion sessions
Book talks are brief presentations designed to promote a book and encourage others to read it, typically given by librarians, teachers, or students.
Unlike book reports, which summarize and analyze, book talks aim to hook an audience without giving too much away: She gave a book talk on the new fantasy novel during library period.
The format emphasizes enthusiasm and selective detail—enough to intrigue, not enough to spoil.
