YOUR Book Club Recommendations
The first question we are ALWAYS asked is, "what book do you recommend for our book club?" And let me tell you, this is a really, REALLY hard question to answer!
All readers are different. All readers bring their own lens through which to view a story, fiction or nonfiction. This is what makes being in a book club SO MUCH FUN!
We will always share suggestions with you (check out our FaceBook page for the Friday #trBCQThumbsUpThumbsDownList), but we also want to give you a chance to share!
We want YOUR book picks!
If you are searching for a review and/or questions for a book that you don't see here, OR if you have a book club recommendation of your own to share, we DEFINITELY want to hear about it! Just fill out this form below and we will include your recommendation in our reading!
We are reading, reading, READING. Some of the books we choose may not be our personal favorites, but we can see the merit in recommending them because they will ignite a great book club discussion. The books we often recommend have one of two factors (or a combo of both). One, it's a great book and deserves to be read by any book lover, and especially one who spends time in a book club; or Two, it's a book that may not garner all 5s in rating, but it will have such different opinions that the discussion will be unforgettable. Every now and then, book clubs are lucky enough to find a book that does BOTH.
On many pages of this site, you will see books on the left -- books for individuals. On the right --books for book clubs. Any book can be read for individual or book club purposes. As we read our way through the years, we will share ones that we feel fit best in each category. You can TOTALLY use these suggestions in any way that works for you!
Book Discussion Questions
The binding principle of a book club is the desire to ask, and answer, burning questions about the books you've read on your own. So many times we read a book that makes us think, makes us feel, dare I say changes our lives, and we want someone to talk to about it. If we are lucky, we find a few other like-minded readers that want to grab a bite to eat every month while gabbing about these books.
In order for a book club meeting to be successful, you MUST TALK ABOUT THE BOOK! This means you have book discussion questions to guide your meeting. If you are looking for general book club questions, we have those. If you are looking for genre-specific book club questions, we have those, too!

Some of you may want to share your quick thoughts about a book, but don't have time to write a full review. If that's the case we are always looking for guest posters for our #trBCQThumbsUpThumbsDownList which comes out once a week via FB.
