Broken Harbor by Tana French!
@Rita I love Tana French!
@Casey yes!!! Me too, her books are amazing
Does your book club have a “vibe” to it? (Not sure if that makes sense or not) I haven’t joined book clubs I have been invited to in the past because the books they tended to choose were not things I would read. Might help us with suggestions…
@Kindy We change every month! Each month, one person chooses the book that everyone will read. Last month, we read a biography, and the month before that, we read a love story. I wanted now a thriller, something exciting!
That helps! Buuuuuut now I am no help because thriller are not my thing- i am so sorry!
@Kindy hahahahahahahaha! Thanks anyway!!

Our book club chose A Tree Grows in Brooklyn from this list.
@Elizabeth Thank you!!
You’re welcome!?
The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah was a hit at my book club. It’s a page-turner for sure!
@Grace I’ve heard about that one!! Thank you!!
@Liana no problem!
@Grace that was a good one! I also loved The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I couldn’t put it down and it was the best book I’ve read in years.
@Grace I’ll have to check her out!
@Melissa read Verity! It’s wild!
@Grace Ok, I will! Thanks!
For thrillers, Behind Closed Doors or the Breakdown by BA Paris are ??
The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison. A-freaking-mazing. Got everything a thriller needs. Loved it.
@Kimberly I second that. Incredible.
@Maria new one in the series comes out next month! I’m pumped ?
Follow You Home by Mark Edwards

Defending Jacob?
Beneath a Scarlet Sky!
Omg you should so go for Verity. One of the best page-turners ever!
@Tatiana I love Colleen Hoover, I’ll definitely check it out! Thanks!
I just finished finished this book and I can see how it would make for a heck of a book club conversation!!
Warning for graphic sexual content though! I was not prepared for that lol!
Water for Elephants!!
@Kathryn I love this one!! Thanks!!
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. It’s so intriguing. I just want to be done it so I know what happens!
I’ve been leading a book club for a while and the book that has led to the best discussion (people still bring it up at least once every meeting and we read it over a year ago) was The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin
@Veronica I just bought this book!! Good to know! Thank you!!!
@Liana let me know what you think of it! It sticks with you long after you finish.
Verity do VERITY you will not regret it will be a juicy discussion ????
I found “Providence” by Caroline Kepnes really interesting and I bet the conversations about it would be very cool if a group read it together. Kind of has a The OA vibe to it which I really liked.
If you want a nonfiction book, “The Cooking Gene: A Journey Through African American Culinary History in the Old South” by Michael W. Twitty is an interesting one. There’s so much information packed into this one and a really beautiful relation that the author makes to his own history. I think this is one of those ones that can really push people to read outside of their comfort zone a learn a bit about America’s past and the journey to understanding ourselves through its history.
Just finished Blood, Water, Paint and it is a MUST READ! It’s also very fast as most of it is written in verse.
The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
Verity!!!!!!
I just read it last night. I couldn’t put it down.
Verity, All Your Perfects, It Ends With Us, or You
Marriage of Opposites Alice Hoffman
The silent patient!
“The Life She Was Given” was excellent!!
If you want a thriller “The Silent Patient” was really good!!
Sharp Objects or Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn.
Have you read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August?
@Rebecca I have and loved it!!! Thank you!
The couple next door is a quick read/the type you can read in one sitting
YES! I flew through it!
A town called Nowhere.. Maria Harland..real page turner
Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo!!!!
The silent patient!!
not sure if it’s already been said but i couldn’t put verity down
I really enjoyed Bird Box and there would be a lot to discuss about it. Also, it’s short. I have 2 kids, very little free time/energy and I think I got through it in 2 days.
The Wife Between Us. Sooooo good
Just finished Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult. Looooved it and could totally see some awesome discussion coming from this book!!
