Book Club Recommendations

Sometimes my book club considers it challenging to find thoughtful, discussable books. Does your book club face that dilemma?

Often after finishing a book, I think: This would make a great book club selection. Usually, I base this opinion on the discussion possibilities and thoughtful themes or relevant issues.

See this post about starting and organizing a book club.

Here are FREE Book Club Kits for James, West With Giraffes, Go As a River, The Boys From Riverside, and The Correspondent. All include discussion questions. Enjoy!

If it’s helpful, here’s a list of books I’ve read that I can confidently recommend for my book club or yours (most suggestions are made with women in mind). The list is also heavily weighted toward historical fiction because I spend most of my reading hours in this genre. I hope you find that this list is a useful resource in choosing your next read!

โ€œAh, how good it is to be among people who are reading.โ€
~Rainer Maria Rilke

โ€œI love the world of words, where life and literature connect.โ€
~Denise J Hughes

โ€œReading good books ruins you for enjoying bad ones.โ€
~Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

โ€œI read because books are a form of transportation, of teaching, and of connection! Books take us to places weโ€™ve never been, they teach us about our world, and they help us to understand human experience.โ€

  1. I want to recommend Min Tan’s “Last Red Empire,” which is very informative historical fiction about China between 1949 and 1989.

  2. Our book club decided to read Isaac’s Storm. To address a discussion group makes it very detailed. Can you have a discussion group question for me
