Much like scrolling through Netflix or
picking out a bottle of wine, finding good books is easy but narrowing them
down to just one or two can be a challenge. Book clubs are a great way to find
new authors and discuss stories with others as you experience them together.
Whether you are in a book club, want to start one, or are simply looking for
your next good read, these books will be welcome additions to your shelf.
