booktalks
Brief book presentations
Booktalks are brief, engaging presentations designed to promote books and encourage reading, typically delivered by librarians or teachers to students.
Unlike book reports or reviews, a booktalk aims to hook listeners without giving away the ending or providing detailed analysis.
The librarian gave booktalks on five new young adult novels.
The verb form describes this activity: She booktalks to middle schoolers every Friday.
