What a great concept! Thank you to Penguin Random House Library Marketing and NetGalley for offering a digital review copy. The 36-page volume delivers exactly what it advertises on its cover: suggested books and discussion questions for book clubs at your library. Several popular selections in various fiction genres are included with a page each of book information and questions. Also are included are suggested titles in teen fiction, Spanish language, nonfiction, and audiobooks. A very attractive and useful resource!

I loved this brochure! There were so many options across multiple genres that I think there is a book for everyone in this list. I liked the format structure and the discussion questions add a really nice touch. I found quite a few books on this list that I have never heard of and am excited to add to my never-ending TBR.

I really enjoyed this brochure! It works so well on Kindle. There is a full size photo of each book cover and a brief description of the book. The book club questions were excellent. I’ve read a few of the titles in the brochure and really enjoyed the discussion questions. There is a wide variety of books recommended. Really nice find! Thank you for this ARC.

Sorry, i thought this one is a reading book but it was a book club kit. My fault too fast to request the title without understand the caption. This one is good enough to read. So you can know the whole story what it talks about.

This is a good list of book club ideas for those who are looking to diversify there book club reading options.

I love these! It gives me ideas of what to read for myself, as a buddy read and for my book club! I can’t get enough of these’

The best novels in Mystery, Suspense, Romance, Memoir, Literary Fiction, and much more are all included in one book. The book's goal is to make it easier for readers to choose their next book to read and for book club leaders to browse novels and genres and choose which ones would be a great fit for their group.

I enjoy how the Readers' Advisory comes before the book overview and author information. This is useful for librarians in assisting patrons in finding their next favorite book and one that their book club group will adore.

Some Readers’ Advisory include ReadALikes. It first shows the novel’s cover for example; Agatha Arch Is Afraid of Everything by Kristin Bair is included. The Readers’ Advisory states: “Fans of Where’d You Go, Bernadette and Elinor Oliphant Is Completely Fine will love this clever romp” this by Publishers Weekly. Then it gives an overview of the book. Discussion questions for this book. Are included, anywhere from 4 – 7 per novel. Here’s one example “Which characters did you most relate to and why? Were there characters you disliked?

This is a wonderful resource where leaders and readers get a peek at what is heading down publishing row for the fall/winter season. It helps you plan ahead.

This is a great resource for book clubs! Not only do you get a list of ideas for books with a short synopsis, you also get discussion questions. I wish more of these were available.

What a great forever resource-- I want every Book Club Brochure! Whether it's for informing book club choices or adding to my personal TBR, library holds, and to-purchase lists, this is a useful text.

This brochure provides a clear overview of interesting books. Not only for book clubs, but also for individual readers. It's very practical how the cover and synopsis are presented first, followed by a few sample questions that could enhance the reading experience (you can find even more questions on the website mentioned at the bottom of each page). These questions do not only enquire about favourite aspects of the book. They also try to make you connect the book with your own life, experiences and perceptions. The presented books are part of a very diverse selection, not shunning specific themes. At the end, there are also suggestions for specific groups, like Teen Book Groups and Spanish-Language Book Group, this is also a real added value to thebrochure. On top of this, the layout of the brochure is really appealing.
I'll definitely consult this brochure and the others in search of relevant recommendations and book club questions for our next book of the month.

This a a great resource for book lovers, book clubbers and librarians, it provides numerous books and descriptions to help entice your next read.

I really enjoy Bookish resources and will keep an eye out for future editions.

4/5

This is such a great recourse for a book club that isn't sure what book to pick next. Very helpful for teens and adults who want a summery and also discussion questions.

I just discovered this great resource and it is amazing. I am going to try to catch up with the latest issues as I know it will be so helpful with the book club I just took over at my local library.
Thank you Netgalley for this gift!!

Wow, This is a Book Club brochure which is an excellent resource for readers to think of what to read next. I wish I could read some of the suggested some of the favorite book titles: The opium Prince, Agent Sonya, The Thursday Murder Club, Glamour Girls, Wider than the sky, Perestroika in Paris. This Book Club brochure has suggested titles and sample discussion questions for my library. I have signed up in the link for the chance to win free books.

Thank you Netgalley, I just reviewed Book Club Brochure Vol. 21 by Various. #NetGalley

This is such a perfect collection of books that helps to narrow down what to choose next for book club! I love the brief description and the discussion questions that help to facilitate a group discussion. I have already picked a few to choose for my next meeting!

As the leader and selector of books for our library book club, I found this brochure especially helpful.
Loved the book synopses and recommendations in this magazine. I also loved that there were lots of discussion questions included. Overall a nice guide of many genres.
I may see if I can download some of the other issues.
5 stars

As I have started Book Club so I am looking for some helpful books with some ideas of how it might be organised. This brochure is amazing! Thank you very much for so useful information!

Ok, so I'm late to the game but HOW COOL ARE THESE BROCHURES?? Admittedly, even though I have high aspirations of starting a book club- I probably won't anytime soon. I even added some of these books to my TBR as I've never heard about them. (Go figure, the FB or IG algorithm buries books unless it's a popular author)

This is cool in general, I don't feel it necessarily HAS to be catered to a book club (but the popular conversation questions are a bonus!). I would like these monthly (or even weekly) to see what's new and upcoming. Yes, I know I can add my email to the never-ending mailing lists for an author or publisher but honestly- they are sooooo overrun with marketing and links/promo that it's nice just to have a document that is concise and to the point- Title, Author, ISBN, Publisher, Format, Hook (and a note that if you like {insert title here} or are a fan of {insert author(s)} here that this book may appeal to you), and then a brief description of the book.
I would actually use these to add to my WL or my TBR or even to discuss with friends to see if it's on their radar and we could buddy-read.

Suggestions to improve would be adding genre, publish date and page count as that will assist people being able to scan through and determine what book will be suited for their next book club read!

Will definitely keep an eye out for these!! A++

These booklets are the PERFECT way to pick your next book club. Details on each book in various genres is a must have. As someone who has run several book clubs, this is the perfect addition to find out about upcoming releases.
