Hello there and thank you for stopping by! I designed these questions for book clubs that want to finish a book within a month and may have a weekly discussion online. You’re welcome to take these questions and use as many (or as little) as you wish. My only request is this: when you’re finished reading my book, would you mind sharing about it online? I would be happy to send you promotional materials and a book bonus for you and your members. Please email me at author@mhelrich.com.
