Let us know that you are beginning your own chapter so we can supply you with information before your meetings.

Then, take a photo or a video during your book club, send us a caption, and let us know what your chapter thought about the books: we'll post them on these pages about Chapter & Verse.

   

Chapter & Verse Book Clubs

Where, when, and what we're reading

Chapter & Verse is meeting virtually while we're being asked to shelter (and read) at home. Please contact your chapter's facilitator to inquire about the details for your local meeting.

Click here for a list of the books we've read since 2008.

Wish to begin your own Chapter & Verse book club? Let us know and we'll provide discussion questions and suggestions for your meetings.

  1919: The Year That Changed America   Pass Go and Collect $200
     
15 and 16 July 2020:
Chapter & Verse,
a book club for adults
discussing children's lit

We normally read nonfiction in May, but we've juggled the schedule because these books are more difficult to obtain with libraries closed. This month we'll be reading the National Book Award winner, 1919: The Year That Changed America, by Martin W. Sandler (Bloomsbury). For our picture-book-length selection, we'll discuss Pass Go and Collect $200: The Real Story of How Monopoly Was Invented, by Tanya Lee Stone and Steven Salerno (Henry Holt).

  Counting the Stars   Emmy in the Key of Code
19 and 20 August 2020:
Chapter & Verse,
a book club for adults
discussing children's lit

This month we'll be reading Counting the Stars by Lesa Cline-Ransome and Raúl Colón (Paula Wiseman Books / Simon & Schuster) and Emmy in the Key of Code, which might be the only middle grade novel written in verse and JavaScript! Aimee Lucido is the author (Versify / HMH Books).
