At our last meeting we chose the books for the upcoming year (and more). So I thought I'd share with you our choices in case you want to read along. If you click on the title of the book, it will take you to Amazon where you can read about it.
July: The Vagrants by Yiyun Lin - I have read and reviewed this book already here.
August: The Color of Tea by Hannah Tunnicliffe - I have read and reviewed this book here.
September: The Chaperone by Laura Moriaty
October : Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout
November: Ru by Kim Thuy
December: Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake by Anna Quindlen
January: The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett (looking forward to this one)
February: The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
March: The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay
April: Pomegranate Soup by Marsha Merhan - I have read and reviewed this book here.
May: The Children Act by Ian McEwan
June: Annabel by Kathleen Winter
July: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
August: Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
September: Memories of a Victorian Midwife by Charlotte Fuhrer
As you can see there is a wide variety of books and subjects that we are going to read. This is one reason I like the book club, it takes me out of my comfort zone and I get to experience new authors and new subjects that I would not normally read.
If anyone has read any of the books on the list, please let me know what you thought?

ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. Thanks for sharing. On Sunday my book club decided to read Go Set a Watchman Free-Harper Lee's new release. Thanks to your recommendation I read Pomegranate Soup and really enjoyed it. I think I'm the only person that disliked Olive Kitteridge. I couldn't finish it, but my friends loved it. I just checked The Children Act out of the library and look forward to reading it. The Nightingale is also on my "to read" list. So many books, not enough time.
