List of Books for Book Club

If we all suggest a couple of books we were interested in reading I thought that I could randomize them and then we'd have a list of books to go off of. I'll take all the suggestions between now and Friday and make a list and will announce the first book to start reading. The two week reading period can begin on Monday, that gives everyone the weekend to get the first book.

I stated it in the other thread, but The Help by Kathryn Sockett looks good, and I've already read it but Room by Emma Donaghue was fantastic Chat Icon

Just started reading Little Bee by Chris Cleave. It seems like it would be a book club kind of book.

That said, Im down for whatever

Re: List of Books for Book Club

I'd like to start reading Jonathan Tropper, but I don't know which book goes first (I like to go in date order):

Plan B
The Book of Joe
Everything Changes
How to Talk to a Widower
This is Where I Leave You

(the titles got longer and longer towards the end, I wonder if that IS the order they were written Chat Icon)

I went to the website and they have Book Club guides Chat Icon

Re: List of Books for Book Club

Pope Joan by Donna Woolfolk Cross
Sacred Bones by Michael Byrnes
A Prisoner of Birth by Jeffrey Archer

These were recommended to me by friends but I have no idea what they're about. I know Jeffrey Archer and like his work. I'm not sure what category he would fall under, maybe thriller/mystery? Chat Icon
