Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love To Read With My Book Club


The theme for this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, is Books I'd Love To Read With My Book Club.  This is a pretty easy one for me.  So far, the book club I participate in has mostly read cozy mysteries, historical fiction, and romance - not usually my cup of tea.  I haven't yet picked the book for the month, but here are some fantastic titles I'm really looking forward to that I would suggest to shake things up and get some of the others to read out of their comfort zone.

The Martian by Andy Weir


Red Rising by Pierce Brown


The Walled City by Ryan Graudin


Revival by Stephen King


Timebound by Rysa Walker


Ready Player One by Ernest Cline


The Rook by Daniel O'Malley


Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers


Empire State by Adam Christopher


Reaper Man by Terry Pratchett



I'd say this sounds like a pretty compelling list!  When we vote on our next reads, I'm hoping one of these books may be selected.  What do you think of my selection?  Do you think these fun titles could promote interesting discussion during book club?

  1. I've heard good things about Red Rising, but Grave Mercy is beautiful. It's sort of a combination of a historical, romantic, and fantasy read which might appeal to a wider audience.

  2. I haven't read any of those, maybe I should. I seriously need to read a Terry Pratchett book, maybe that'll be a good place to start!
    Here's my TTT if you're interested: https://victoriajaynesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/top-ten-tuesday-8/

    1. You can't go wrong with Discworld - Death is a great character. Thanks for sharing!

  3. That's a really interesting list. I've heard loads of good things about Ready Player One and it really looks like great fun.

    I have read The Martian and it was OK. There was little to no character development, and it got really repetitive after a while. Still moderately entertaining though.

    Reaper Man is great. It was the first Terry Pratchett book that I read and I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for it. Plus, Death is definitely my favourite character in the Discworld.

    The rest of the books looks pretty good as well, great post!

  11. I read Ready Player One around Christmastime and whilst I didn't love it, I'd definitely recommend it to a book club. Plenty to talk about - mainly the role of the internet in our lives.

  15. I've heard about both Red Rising and The Walled City and they do sound like they would make good book club books. Empire State looks really interesting, I may just have to check that out!
    Great list.
