Teens! Do you want to read books before they are released? Want to talk with your peers about the interesting books you're reading?
At Watermark Books & Cafe, we are passionate about fostering and encouraging a love of reading in young adults (like you!). We’re excited to host a group that will allow passionate young readers an outlet for something they love.
Watermark Books' Teen Review Group is a group of book-loving teens who meet every month to get advanced reading copies, discuss books with other like-minded teens, give book talks, help out (and hang out) with authors and events, and even help put in proposals for authors to come to the store for events or school visits. Being a member is a year-long commitment, and we’ll meet about once a month on the third Saturday at 11:00 a.m. (There will be goodies!)
Applications are being accepted now and can be filled out here. If you would like to be considered for the Teen Review Group for this school year, are passionate about books and reading, are in grades 8-12, and are at least 13 years old, please fill out the application!
