What better way to kick off a new year than with a new book? The hoopla Book Club’s first Spotlight Selection of 2021 is Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. Adapted from a stage play also written by the author, this book tells the tale of a charming little café where time travel is possible—under a set of rules, of course! Readers and listeners will follow four travelers as they venture into the past and future. Publishers Weekly calls it “an affecting, deeply immersive journey,” and we think your patrons and Book Club members will agree.
You can visit the hoopla Resource Center to find materials to promote and use for your book club, including a discussion guide, author Q&A, other reading recommendations, and more. And it’s easy to host your book club on social media—just use the hashtag #hooplabookclub, and tag us @hoopladigital. Happy reading!
