Our Mission
Good Books Lately is the country's first and foremost book group consulting company.
We provide services for book group members across the nation (and around the globe) who are looking to enhance and
energize their reading and discussion experience. What sort of services, you ask?
Here are a few ways you can take advantage of us:
Reading Recommendations
We offer you the most discerning and dynamic of reading suggestions. Because we meet with book group members
to discuss books every day, we know what to look for in a fantastic book group book. In order to earn a beneficent
blurb on our site, a book must meet our two definitive criteria:
A) It's a great read--compelling, intriguing, unique--something truly special.
B) It's a book that will encourage a heated, interesting discussion--complex, challenging,
ambiguous, subtle--open to multiple interpretations.
We have personally read and loved each and every single book that we write about on our site.
It's not every book site, nor even every other book reviewer, that can claim the same. Would you be surprised to
learn that some reviewers don't even read the book? Check out a recent expose from The London Evening Standard.
Reading Guides
We write our own reading guides on specific books. Our ReadSmartGuides® are the most comprehensive,
informative, and entertaining reading guides you'll find anywhere.
As we continue to add new titles to this series each year, we focus on our very favorite favorites--books
that made us laugh, made us think, or made us gasp in awe--books worthy of concentrated consideration and analysis.
