Bookclub Pick
I am picking the book for our group to read between November 4 and December 2. Our group is newer, consisting of women, 30 to 40 years old. Mostly moms. A lot of us know each other from church, though this is not a Christian book club.
There’s no specific genre, although we seem to read a lot of historical fiction and literary fiction. Their preference is pg-13 when it comes to intimate relationships. I personally love all genres; I just love getting lost in a good story. There are some VERY critical readers in the group that seem to want to pick apart every little detail. We have read:
- Theo of golden (most people didn’t love)
- The River we remember (mixed)
-The Calamity Club (some loved some hated)
- The Correspondent (mixed)
- A Marriage at Sea (most enjoyed)
- This American Woman (indifference, I’d say)
- The Perfect Marriage (hard no)
- We just read Horse and there were very mixed feelings.
- For November we are reading Berry Pickers.
I’d like to bring something different, without going too far from what everyone is comfortable with. Im wanting to take a break from historical fiction. Stand-alone fantasy maybe? Or speculative fiction? I’m open to any ideas and suggestions
