Our book club has recently explored The Butterfly of the Stars by Bernard Werber, Galápagos by Kurt Vonnegut, and Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones. Now we’re hunting for our next discussion-worthy read. Any recommendations for a book that would spark lively conversation in a small, cozy group? Open to all genres.

*Yellowface*, by R.F. Kuang.
The book discusses many important subject like cultural appropriation, cancel culture, the difficulties within the publishing industry etc.. all the while being satirical. The main protagonist is also delightful in terms of nuances. I personally think it’s a perfect book to spark conversations.
Some thought provoking books and conversation inspiring books I’ve enjoyed over the last few years:
I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman
The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa
Drive Your Plow Over The Bones of the Dead by Olga Tokarczuk
The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami
Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood
Immaculate Conception by Ling Ling Huang
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro
The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler
Melmoth by Sarah Perry
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
