items These are books that I have read in the last year that either were for my book club, or would have been great to discuss in a book club. Happy reading!
Fun book! Basically Huck Finn told from Jim's (Huck's slave friend) perspective. While speaking with his own friends and family, Jim speaks very eloquently, while when speaking with "the whites" he speaks like a stereotypical slave. It was both funny...
James (2024 B&N Book of the Year) (Pulitzer Prize Winner) (National Book Award Winner)
This is a heartfelt book full of emotion and self-discovery. It’s written in the form of letters, which makes it both easy to read but also easy to read less at a time when time doesn’t permit. I think it can appeal to many generations of readers!
The Correspondent
Beautifully written. The author is able to characterize 4 very different people with unique ties to one another. If you liked A Man Called Ove - you'll definitely enjoy this one too. My book club had plenty to talk about!
My Friends: A Novel
A divorcee who is mistaken for a hit-woman!
Such a unique and funny concept. I loved every page of this book. The main characters are hilarious and quirky but somehow relatable. My book club had fun discussing this one!
Finlay Donovan Is Killing It (Finlay Donovan Series #1)
Finlay is back at it with even more laughs and surprise twists! My book club didn’t discuss this but we have been passing the book around and talking unofficially about it for months! Can’t wait to read the next in the series!
Finlay Donovan Knocks 'Em Dead (Finlay Donovan Series #2)
We loved this one. We don’t typically read romance novels but the title caught us. And the characters hooked us! I laughed out loud many times and didn’t want this one to end!
Book Lovers
Heartbreaking but beautiful WWII novel. The character descriptions were well written and the story was unforgettable. We had a lot to discuss at this meeting.
All the Light We Cannot See (Pulitzer Prize Winner)
Another book that we all loved and had plenty to discuss. How desperate would you need to be to disappear from your life? Would you be able to walk away and never look back? Great book!
The Last Flight
Historical fiction at its best. Loved the depiction of women’s involvement in the war. Beautifully written. We all loved it and had plenty to discuss at book club!
The Nightingale
Two friends do unimaginable things while on vacation to protect themselves. Would I or could I do the same? Definitely plenty to talk about at the next book club!
We Were Never Here (Reese's Book Club)
This book is part self-help, part psychology but completely science backed! “The Let Them Theory will forever change the way you think about relationships, control, and personal power”. The author, Mel Robbins, even created a book club discussion gu...
Let Them Theory - by Mel Robbins (Hardcover)
SO much to discuss in this book. You’ll either love it or hate it but one thing is for sure…you’ll get through it just to discuss it!
Yesteryear - by Caro Claire Burke (Hardcover)
