FAQs to get you ready!
- Do you have to participate in the book club. No, this is optional but we know that reading or listening to audio books is a great way to learn and practice the the language.
Do I have to read the book en español?
- No, actually! While we certainly encourage you to read the book in Spanish, you are more than welcome to read it in English & join us for the discussion.
Where can I purchase the Book Club Pick?
- You can purchase via Bookshop.com, or wherever you purchase your libros. **We also recommend checking out your local library and/or the Libby or OneDrive apps for audio- & e-book library loans!
**PRO-TIP: Challenge yourself to reading a physical copy in SPANISH & listen to the audiobook in ENGLISH whenever you need a break or want to cross-check your Spanish reading comprehension.
