Have you ever heard of the term "Bookworm"? Do you think you might be a bookworm? Or maybe you're a Book Dragon like me?!? What is a Book Dragon? A Book Dragon is someone who cannot get enough of books. They love reading new books. They love rereading old favorites. They love giving and getting book recommendations. They love to talk about books. They probably have a To-Read List that gets longer every year. They may even have shelves overflowing with books! In this weekly ongoing class, we are going to share and discuss books, genres, characters, and so much more! Join us each week to share what you are currently reading with others. Offer reading recommendations to others or get some recommendations if you are not sure what to read next. Class Structure: - Welcome and Greeting: 5-10 minutes - Book Talk: 20-30 - Closing and Goodbye: 5-10 minutes *If extra time is available class will play Story related games.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an avid reader who loves to give and receive book recommendations.
I built this class as a way for learners to share their reading passion with each other. Whether they like witches and wizards, dragons and knights, superheroes and supervillains, or anything else out there, I would love to have them join us and share their current book or books.
