Top Ten Books I Think Would Make Great Book Club Picks

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is:  Top Ten Books I Think Would Make Great Book Club Picks

1.) Anything by Jen Lancaster
2.) 11/22/63 by Stephen King-It's a beast but my book club had such a blast discussing Under the Dome that I think this would be an interesting one to try.
3.) Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay-This book deals with so many different issues and I think it would be really neat to discuss in a group setting.
4.) Everything is Illuminated by Jonathon Safran Foer
5.) We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver-I still haven't worked out how I feel about this book so I wouldn't mind hearing what my fellow book clubbers would think of this.
6.) The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
7.) The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff
8.) The Chosen One by Carol Lynch Williams
  #7 and 8 are both about polygamy and would probably lead to a really good discussion
9.) The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
10.) Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist
   We read both #9 and 10 in my book club and they were so good!

What books do you think would be good book club picks?

  2. Interesting list. I think that Stephen King is the only exception where I have seen the movies, but have not yet tried a book. Maybe I will start with this one.

  3. I love that you have 11/22/63 on your list. It was fantastic and definitely has lots to discuss. Also Let the Right One In, although it's not for everyone, it was amazing.

    Here's My Top Ten

Review and Giveaway: "Distant Signs" by Anne Richter

Synopsis: Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor’s daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. The couple struggle to contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and political, their two families’ hidden truths are quietly revealed. An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over

Top Ten Books I Recommend The Most

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic:  Top Ten Books I Recommend the Most 1.) The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons   2.) Outlander by Diana Gabaldon           If you read my blog at all, you know I love these two books so much!  I am not afraid to suggest them to anyone who I think might enjoy them. 3.) The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - I was definitely recommending this book left and right when the first movie came out. 4.) The Fault in Our Stars by John Green 5.) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin           These are two books that I just recently started recommending but they are books that can appeal to anyone so they are easy picks when someone asks for a recommendation. 6.) Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead  - I get a little embarrassed when I recommend this book to people but seriously, just because it has vampires does not mean it is like Twilight. 7.) The Giver by Lois

Book Blog Hop (11)

This week's question is:  "Highlight one book you have received this week that you can't wait to dig into!" Okay, I have a confession to make.  I have been so busy this week that I have not had time to get any new books.  I have several waiting for me at the library but I won't be able to pick them up until this weekend.  : ( Did you all get any exciting new books this week?
