Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Joood - Hooligan of Platypire reviews bossed me into doing this, so I guess this is a thing I do now.
This week's theme is a freebie. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I hate freebie weeks because I'm so horrible at coming up with my own themes for top ten Tuesday. It took me about an hour of agonizing deliberation, but I have decided to feature my ten favorite book club reads this week. These are in no particular order.
Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
The Hangman's Daughter by Oliver Potzsch
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Unroken by Laura Hillenbrand
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
The Winemakers by Jan Moran
Even though I've quite enjoyed most of the books that I've read for my book clubs over the years, these are the ten books that I enjoyed most. And I think a large part of that is that I remember the discussions for these books being particularly engaging.
Are you in a book club? If so, what are a few of your favorite book club reads? I can always use some ideas for future reads after all (although I could also recycle any of these in my current book club). - Katie

I have see "The Night Circus" around SO many places - from lists to booktube. Makes me curious to discover what it's all about. I've also seen good things about Kristin's books. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is so good. I would definitely recommend it. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteI still haven't read The Night Circus and I've heard such good things. I really need to get to it.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely worth a read. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteWhat great choices! I can see why you've picked these ones. I imagine they would get a lot of discussion going. My TTT
ReplyDeleteThey really did. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteUnbroken was a good book. I ran into a lady at work today with a "I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie" tote bag, and that was the book she was currently reading. I need to get one of those tote bags just so I can talk to bookish people!
ReplyDeleteI have a bookish tote, but not one that says I Like Big Books and I Cannot Lie (I definitely need one of those too). Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteSometimes I just look back at old topics and pick one. The ones I immediately thought of are actually topics for the next few weeks. Lots of popular books here.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I may try that next time we have a freebie week. Although stealing other people's ideas is a good option too. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteI loved both The Night Circus and Big Little Lies! And I hear you about the freebies. Like, give me some kind of direction, please!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Yes. I love participating, but coming up with my own ideas is the worst!!! Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteSo many good picks! I love The Night Circus and Big Little Lies, especially. I'm curious about The Hangman's Daughter and Life After Life. They both have something eye-catching about them.
ReplyDeleteI you enjoy historical fiction, you should definitely read The Hangman's Daughter and Life After Life (although Sofia the Great from Platypire Reviews did not enjoy Life After Life, but everything she disliked about it were things I loved so...) Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
DeleteBig Little Lies is a favorite of mine. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's an amazing book. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie
