All Books Considered Book Club

Welcome to Maine Public's All Books Considered Book Club!

Every two months or so we will feature a book from a preeminent national and Maine author and hold a virtual book club meeting attended by the author and hosted by either Jennifer Rooks or Cindy Han from Maine Calling.

Maine Public's All Books Considered Book Club is made possible through the generous support of Birchbrook and Bull Moose.
