Book Club
Every year we read several books related to the Olympic and Paralympic movements. Led by Book Club Claire, we explore the athletes, sports, and history of the Games! If you have a suggestion for a book we should read, let us know!Â
Keep current on book club books, as well as books featured on the show, through our Bookshop.org page. Note: We may receive compensation if you purchase a product through our Bookshop.org link.
