I’m part of a small book club, and it’s my turn to pick this month! We are a group of three women, in our twenties and thirties, with slightly varying tastes in literature.
To give you an idea of what we’ve enjoyed, here’s a list of books we’ve read:
– “My Year of Rest and Relaxation” by Ottessa Moshfegh
– “On Earth, We’re Briefly Gorgeous” by Ocean Vuong
– “The Alchemist” by Paulo Coelho
– “Bliss Montage” by Ling Ma
– “They’re Going to Love You” by Meg Howrey
– “Happy Hour” by Marlowe Granados
– “Yellowface” by R. F. Kuang
The best received ones so far have been “They’re Going to Love You” and “Yellowface.”
While I generally try to avoid bestsellers or BookTok recommendations, I’m open to any books that you’ve personally enjoyed. Thanks in advance!

Carrie Soto is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
Winners with my book club:
*Wish You Well* by Baldacci
*Born a Crime*
*A Town Like Alice*
I think “You Made A Fool of Death With Your Beauty” by Akwaeke Emezi will spark a lot of discussion. It’s a romance novel, however the author typically writes literary fiction so I believe it’ll have some crossover appeal. My romance book club had tooons of opinions, we were talking about it nonstop for a full 2 hours LOL.
Brotherless Night by VV Ganeshananthan is great!
It is everything I wanted The Women by Kristin Hannah to be but wasn’t.
I recently read “Just a Regular Boy” by Catherine Ryan Hyde (same author who wrote Pay it Forward)
Its a great book, with interesting discussion topics for book clubs at the end.
Our bookclub pick this month is a new release –

Amazon’s synopsis- A highly fresh and original novel following a journalist in contemporary Japan as she investigates a serial killer convicted of luring wealthy men in with her cooking classes only to seduce, murder, and rob them, and a gripping exploration of misogyny, obsession, and the pleasures and pressures of food.
