I read some of my book club books for Season Reading Challenge. I read "Istanbul", "The City of Falling Angels" I can't think of any others. I read Tenth Circle. I think that make a good book club book. I read "Snowflower and the Secret Fan" which was a bookclub book over the summer.
The HelpI think it's self-explanatory if you check out all the reviews. There's a lot of varying positions on the book. And the Goodreads Groups that have had this novel for their Group Reads have produced a NUMBER of messages for the one thread. It's great!
Gosh! So many!A Fine Balance
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time
Lolita
I Capture the Castle
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
The Time Traveler's Wife
Rebecca
The Poisonwood Bible
The Bell Jar
The Shadow of the Wind
Thanks, Bridget! We've done several of those, so I will add the others to the list! For next month I talked them into Harvesting the Heart, which I am using for Stephanie Anne's task ;)

I hope there is something new and interesting here for you.
I just finished reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I gave it 5 stars and think it would be a great book club selection.
Thanks, everyone, these look great!!
I have just finished two awesome books that, I think, would make for great book group discussions:The Gin Closet and Hurry Down Sunshine.

I gave it 5 stars and think it would be a great book club selection."Our club is about to do this one but there has been a great deal of chatter as we've been reading. I expect it to be one of our best discussions to date (we've been in existence for 3 years now).

I got passed over when it was first suggested but then several individual members read it outside of the club and brought it back the following year. It was a very good discussion. Not quite what anyone was expecting.
My classic book clubs just did Middlemarch and it was great. Books I would have liked to have a book club for and didn't: The Help, The Poisonwood Bible, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Never Let Me Go, The Remains of the Day
I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and think it would make a great book club book. Lots to discuss in this one...
I read Peace Like a River with my book club and ended up giving it 5 stars. It's excellent! The story is such that it makes for good discussion.

I just read "Shutter Island", which I know was a Group Read several challenges ago and thought it would make a *great* book club read -- lots to talk about!
What other books have you read as part of a Seasonal Reading Challenge that you thought would be good discussion in a book club?
