Books About Book Club
I have shared a list listing books about libraries/librarians (some of those also include book clubs) and one listing books about bookshops, but I don’t think I’ve curated a list about book clubs. I have several on my (virtual) bookshelves! Here are a few of my favorites and links to my reviews (when available):
- The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society: A lifetime favorite and most unique book club! I read this before blogging, so I don’t have a formal review. I will need to reread and write that review! Have you read it or seen the Netflix adaptation? …5 Stars
- The Best Life Book Club by Sheila Roberts: Most recently read and is probably my next favorite after Guernsey. I read an ARC (advanced reader copy) and the pub date is 5/7/24 …4.5 Stars
- The Book Club Hotel by Sarah Morgan: I’m including this book because of the title, but the story is more focused on the personal challenge that each woman in the book club faces. ….4 Stars.
- The Undercover Book List by Colleen Nelson: Sweet Middle Grade read about a secret book club between two unlikely students (not reviewed) …4 Stars
- The Air Raid Book Club by Annie Lyons: Historical fiction, London ….4 Stars
- The Keeper of Hidden Books by Madeline Martin: Historical fiction, Poland, a secret book club …5 Stars
- The Radcliffe Ladies’ Reading Club by Julia Bryan Thomas: Compelling but agenda driven …4 Stars
- The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner: A colorful cast of characters meet to discuss and preserve the works of Jane Austen …4 Stars
- The Wartime Book Club by Kate Thompson: I read an ARC (advanced reader copy)….pub date 4/9/24 …4 Stars

โAh, how good it is to be among people who are reading.โ ~Rainer Maria Rilke
โI love the world of words, where life and literature connect.โ ~Denise J Hughes
โReading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.โ ~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
โI read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places weโve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.โ ~Madeleine Riley, Top Shelf Text

Great idea for a post. A few new ones to me. Kathryn Freeman’s The Beach Read Book Club is very good too.
Thanks for the rec! Iโll check it out!
As a mood reader the idea of being in a book club gives me the shivers! ๐
Lol! So relatable! My book club has morphed into a literary club where we each share what weโve been reading. That works well!
I could do that! ๐
Nice post โ๏ธ
I love this Carol – Book about Book Clubs. I have only read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society several years ago but will look for the others. Thanks so much for sharing with us at #WOYBS and hope you can join us next month. Happy reading. x

Hi, Carol – I LOVE book clubs – mostly for all of the reasons that you have mentioned here. Until recently I was in 5 bookclubs but have now narrowed it down to two (and although the two are absolutely wonderful I am still in book club withdrawl). ๐
I have also read The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler and highly recommend it.
