Book Club Selections :: Long List for 2024-2025

Book Club Selections

We’re at that time of year! Earlier this week my book group met for its annual book pitch which is a really fun meeting because we learn about so many books we haven’t heard of and even if they don’t get picked as a book club selection, it fills out the in-between spaces of our reading lives. (Like we all need a longer TBR list!)

If you’re new to this site and want to learn more about our book club selection process, read this post from the archives. As always, I’d love to hear which ones from this list you’ve read and would recommend to our group.
