Andrew Luck Book Club - "The former Indianapolis Colts’ quarterback is a big-time reader and was once dubbed “the NFL's official librarian” by the Wall Street Journal. He offers two selections at a time: One for “Rookies” (young readers), the other for “Veterans” (adults). Luck also interviews authors for a podcast that appears on the home page. You don't have to officially join — just read the books and post comments by using the hashtag #ALBookClub on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter."
