Walmart Live Book Club to Make Debut on TalkShopLive
Walmart Live Book club is making its debut on TalkShopLive. The first title featured will be Casey McQuiston’s I Kissed Shara Wheeler, with the author appearing on the TalkShopLive platform tonight. “Accessibility is so important for teen readers who don’t have a local bookstore or library that spotlights—or even carries—queer stories. I was one of those kids myself, but I devoured any book I could find on supermarket shelves. I know many kids still do. Imagining young people all over the country discovering a book like Shara through Walmart means the world to me,” McQuiston said of her participation in the launch. Viewers can watch, interact, and buy an autographed copy of the novel here.
