My favorite resource for good book discussion titles is a list called Great Group Reads. I have blogged about this terrific resource in this past. Published annually each fall, the titles selected are part of a program created by the Women's National Book Association "to promote reading groups and to celebrate the joy of shared reading". My own book group recently read two titles from this year's list: The Round House and The Yellow Birds. Both titles resulted in excellent discussions.Here are the Great Group Reads selections for 2013 with links provided to our catalog. If you are searching for a good, discussable book for your reading group, you may very well find an intriguing title here. This year, all 21 titles are fiction.
