So, bookmark this page, and check it regularly, because we’ll be adding at least one new book to the the list every month.Īnd don’t ignore the older books further down the page, especially if you are in a book club that doesn’t like to buy hardbacks or battle a hold queue at the library. That’s a lotta choices for your book club!

We’ve selected 12 books each from the past three years and we will build a list of an additional 12+ books throughout 2023. Rather, we’ve curated this list of the best book club books from recent years, choosing those that are great reads and which have also been very popular with book clubs.

That said, this book list does not represent long-standing, classic book club reads. These books have a lot to offer, and choosing any of them for your reading group will guarantee you a beefy conversation, which you can get started using our guide featuring 101 handy book club questions. Which means there is flirting, awkwardness, some surprising discoveries in the bedroom, awkwardness, misunderstandings, more awkwardness, and the kind of love that changes your life forever.What makes for a great book club book? Based upon what’s been popular this past year, that would be mysterious boxes, imprisoned octopuses, road tripping giraffes, brilliant chemists with charming dogs, crime-solving senior citizens, high anxiety, snarky booksellers, caribbean cake, people who pass…and the perennial favorite– fraught family relationships. Ray is tangentially involved in the whole gross business at best, and that suits him fine. There are very few details on the correct investigative procedure-not that Ray wants to know-and you can forget about any big reveal to wrap up the case. Not That Complicated is a 74k-word romantic comedy that just so happens to also have some dead guys in it. Because Ray and Adam have a complicated history, and starting something would be a terrible idea. He is too young for Ray, too cool for him, too beautiful for him…and for some bewildering reason, Adam is always there for him when Ray needs him the most.īut Ray’s not falling for it. Luckily for Ray, the last man in the world he should be interested in has distraction on his mind, and it seems like all Ray can think about is Adam Blake. (Also, the police were kinda mean, and now everyone thinks he’s a serial killer.) Ray’s just a thirtysomething graphic designer with a broken heart who doesn’t much like his life right now.Īnd he’s already having nightmares about the whole thing, come on. If this was your classic Cotswolds murder mystery (it’s not) and Ray was an amateur detective (he isn’t) then when he stumbles across something unexpected under his bedroom floor, he’d investigate the hell out of it.
