Book talks: 

• Title and author (does the author have previous titles)
• Length, format (for instance, is it a book in verse,) age of book
• Is the book appropriate for everyone or does it contain sensitve content that a reader might want to know about?
• Genre, awards and reviews
• Brief summary
• Your personal thoughts both positive and negative
• Your own star rating system 
• Sample reading from a page/paragraph that you think would persuade others to read it
• Remember that even if your book isn't appropriate for everyone to read, your book talk should be safe enough for anyone to watch.
