It's year two of the Reader's Den and we have an exciting, diverse selection of books to discuss! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Reader's Den, "RD" is The New York Public Library's online book discussion group available 24/7.  Each month a different title is selected by one of The New York Public Library's librarians and then discussed on the Reader's Den blog. Posts will feature reviews, summaries, author information, as well as discussion questions.

What's great about the Reader's Den is that there is no need to sign up. Just add a comment at any point during the discussion. If you miss a month, it is never too late to comment.  You can even participate in last year's discussions!
