I have been blessed to be in a great book club for seven years and thought I'd share our reading list. Our favorite books are noted with **. There are some stinkers on the list too, but that is the nature of a book club too.
Our club has nine members and each of us select one book per year. To round out our reading list, we all vote on a classic to add to the list, for a total of 10 books per year. We do not have a book selection for May or December. In May, we get together for dinner and discuss our independent readings. In December, we get together for a progressive dinner and Christmas tour of three or four of our members houses along with an ornament exchange.
