Most-Read of 2023

1. The Book Woman’s Daughter by Kim Michele Richardson

Bestselling historical fiction author Kim Michele Richardson is back with the perfect book club read following Honey Lovett, the daughter of the beloved Troublesome book woman, who must fight for her own independence with the help of the women who guide her and the books that set her free.

2. The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict

In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car — strange for a frigid night. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.

3. Maame by Jessica George

An unforgettable debut about a young British Ghanaian woman as she navigates her twenties and finds her place in the world, for readers of Queenie and The Other Black Girl.

Smart, funny, and deeply affecting, Jessica George’s Maame deals with the themes of our time with humor and poignancy: from familial duty and racism, to female pleasure, the complexity of love, and the life-saving power of friendship. Most important, it explores what it feels like to be torn between two homes and cultures—and it celebrates finally being able to find where you belong.

4. The Lost Girls of Willowbrook by Ellen Marie Wiseman

For fans of The Girls with No Names, The Silent Patient, and Girl, Interrupted, the New York Times bestselling author of The Orphan Collector blends fact, fiction, and the urban legend of Cropsey in 1970s New York, as mistaken identities lead to a young woman’s imprisonment at Willowbrook State School, the real state-run institution that Geraldo Rivera would later expose for its horrifying abuses.

5. Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotica writer who is feeling pressed from all sides. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning novelist, who, to everyone’s surprise, shows up in New York.

When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. What no one knows is that fifteen years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. While they may be pretending not to know each other, they can’t deny their chemistry—or the fact that they’ve been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years.

6. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

A love letter to Syria and its people, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a speculative novel set amid the Syrian Revolution, burning with the fires of hope, love, and possibility. Perfect for fans of The Book Thief and Salt to the Sea.

“A searing story of war, loss, family, and love. An absolute must read.” —Sabaa Tahir 

7. An American Beauty by Shana Abé

Amidst the opulent glamor and vicious social circles of Gilded Age New York, this stunning biographical historical novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Second Mrs. Astor conjures the true rags-to-riches story of Arabella Huntington — a woman whose great beauty was surpassed only by her exceptional business acumen, grit, and artistic eye, and who defied the constraints of her era to become the wealthiest self-made woman in America.

8. The Family Chao by Lan Samantha Chang

“Family drama, murder mystery, love story, The Family Chao is an oftentimes funny and sometimes sad portrait of a Chinese American family who runs that most ubiquitous of institutions: the Chinese restaurant. With nuance and slyness, wit and empathy, Chang turns the desires and deceits of one unhappy family into a moving and compelling saga of that classic American illness: ambition.” –Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Committed

9. The Nurse’s Secret by Amanda Skenandore

The unflinching, spellbinding new book from the acclaimed author of The Second Life of Mirielle West. Based on the little-known story of America’s first nursing school, a young female grifter in 1880s New York evades the police by conning her way into Bellevue Hospital’s training school for nurses, while a spate of murders continues to follow her as she tries to leave the gritty streets of the city behind…

10. The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark

“The Lies I Tell is a uniquely riveting cat and mouse game with two artfully nuanced female protagonists that is at once a razor-sharp, page-turning mystery and a brilliant, thought-provoking exploration of what it truly means to do good in the world.” —Kimberly McCreight, New York Times bestselling author of A Good Marriage and Friends like These

11. The Book Spy by Alan Hlad

“The walled-off feeling of loneliness in a crowd pervades the pages of Hlad’s piercing historical thriller. Based on a fascinating and little-known true story of World War II… Hlad’s immersive portrayal of wartime Lisbon and its inhabitants, of the loneliness caused by the terror that anybody at any time could be an informant, plus his captivating thriller/romance tale make this a must-read, especially for fans of Kate Quinn’s The Rose Code.”—firstCLUE, starred review for The Book Spy

5 Most-Read Nonfiction of 2023 Edition

1. The Dark Queens by Shelley Puhak

In The Dark Queens, award-winning writer Shelley Puhak sets the record straight. She resurrects two very real women in all their complexity, painting a richly detailed portrait of an unfamiliar time and striking at the roots of some of our culture’s stubbornest myths about female power. The Dark Queens offers proof that the relationships between women can transform the world.

2. The Red Widow by Sarah Horowitz

A real-life femme fatale, Meg influences government positions and resorts to blackmail—and maybe even poisoning—to get her way. Leaving a trail of death and disaster in her wake, she earns the name the “Red Widow” for mysteriously surviving a home invasion that leaves both her husband and mother dead. With the police baffled and the public enraged, Meg breaks every rule in the bourgeois handbook and becomes the most notorious woman in Paris.

An unforgettable true account of sex, scandal, and murder, The Red Widow is the story of a woman determined to rise—at any cost.

3. Uncommon Measure by Natalie Hodges

Uncommon Measure explores these questions from the perspective of a young Korean American who dedicated herself to perfecting her art until performance anxiety forced her to give up the dream of becoming a concert solo violinist. Anchoring her story in illuminating research in neuroscience and quantum physics, Hodges traces her own passage through difficult family dynamics, prejudice, and enormous personal expectations to come to terms with the meaning of a life reimagined—one still shaped by classical music but moving toward the freedom of improvisation.

4. Helltown by Casey Sherman

“Casey Sherman is a master at bringing history alive. Compelling, complex, and revealing—do not miss this!” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, USA Todaybestselling author of Her Perfect Life

Immersive, unflinching, and shocking, Helltown reveals the secrets of a notorious serial killer and unspools the threads connecting Costa, Vonnegut, and Mailer in the seaside city that played host to horrors unlike any ever seen before.

5. Seven Aunts by Staci Lola Drouillard

They were German and English, Anishinaabe and French, born in the north woods and Midwestern farm country. They moved again and again, and they fought for each other when men turned mean, when money ran out, when babies—and there were so many—added more trouble but even more love. These are the aunties: Faye, who lived in California, and Lila, who lived just down the street; Doreen, who took on the bullies taunting her “mixed-blood” brothers and sisters; Gloria, who raised six children (no thanks to all of her “stupid husbands”); Betty, who left a marriage of indenture to a misogynistic southerner to find love and acceptance with a Norwegian logger; and Carol and Diane, who broke the warped molds of their own upbringing.

5 Most-Read Young Adult of 2023 Edition

1. As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by Zoulfa Katouh

A love letter to Syria and its people, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow is a speculative novel set amid the Syrian Revolution, burning with the fires of hope, love, and possibility. Perfect for fans of The Book Thief and Salt to the Sea.

“A searing story of war, loss, family, and love. An absolute must read.” —Sabaa Tahir 

2. Merci Suarez Plays it Cool by Meg Medina

“The strength of this story lies in the authenticity of Merci’s character and her refreshingly sincere responses to the world around her, even and especially when self-conscious or misguided. Her home among her Cuban American family may not always be the refuge she wants, but it is full of love, support, Cuban traditions, and, occasionally, something delicious made by or with Abuela. . . the book closes on a note of promise as Merci leads her team out onto the field for their first game.”–The Horn Book (starred review)

3. An Arrow to the Moon by Emily X.R. Pan

Romeo and Juliet meets Chinese mythology in this magical novel by the New York Times bestselling author of The Astonishing Color of After. An Arrow to the Moon, Emily X.R. Pan’s brilliant and ethereal follow-up to The Astonishing Color of After, is a story about family, love, and the magic and mystery of the moon that connects us all.

 “An effortless fusion of myth and realism, coming of age and fairy tale, this haunting love story rises on gossamer wings, but cuts bone deep.”―Melissa Albert, New York Times bestselling author of The Hazel Wood

4. The Elephant Girl by James Patterson, Ellen Banda-Aaku & Sophia Krevoy

Clever, sensitive Jama likes elephants better than people. While her classmates gossip—especially about the new boy, Leku—twelve-year-old Jama takes refuge at the watering hole outside her village. There she befriends a baby elephant she names Mbegu, Swahili for seed.

When Mbegu’s mother, frightened by poachers, stampedes, Jama and Mbegu are blamed for two deaths—one elephant and one human. Now Leku, whose mysterious and imposing father is head ranger at the conservancy, may be their only lifeline.

Inspired by true events, The Elephant Girl is a moving exploration of the bonds between creatures and the power of belonging.

5. The Silence That Binds Us by Joanna Ho

‘The Silence that Binds Us is a propulsive reminder that race-based discrimination takes a multitude of forms, all of them insidious and traumatic. I adored this ornately carved window into the core of shared humanity. A fascinating exploration of what happens when deeply rooted cultural norms collide with privilege-centered notions of ‘fairness.’ Read and re-read. Then read it again.” — Nic Stone, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin

Carolyn Merritt Hill County Retreat Book Club
San Antonio, Texas

Our book club was started in 2008 when our over 55 neighborhood opened. Carolyn Merritt spearheaded our small group. She has since passed away, and we have honored her by naming the book club after her. We have since grown into a fairly large group—most months we have 20-30 attendees.

We meet once a month, with a different member leading the discussion each time. It is totally up to the leader to decide if we use reading guides. On a yearly basis, we vote on the books for the year based on books members nominate. Most of the books are fiction, but this year we are reading a biography and a classic as well.

In December we have a Holiday Brunch and donate books and other items to our charity, SAMM Ministries.

Advice for Book Lovers: Enjoy reading books outside your comfort zone!

Brandeis National Committee Banned Book Group
Hollis, New Hampshire

Colfax Library Book Club
St. John, Washington

Our club started as a library-sponsored book group that moved to Zoom during COVID isolation. We are now back to an in-person group. We normally meet on the last Monday of the month at 5:30 in the Colfax Library. The adult librarian starts us off with some general questions and follows with questions specific to the book. These are times when the discussion follows its own direction depending on the experiences of the members. We have a core group of five or six members, plus additional people drawn by the title or friends of regular members.

The thing that makes this group so special is our wide range of ages, interests, and education. We are all very respectful of others’ opinions and are willing to jump into a variety of genres. About half of our members listen to audiobooks.

We start with reading guides and find it very useful that the RGC database includes older titles, since we generally read books that are at least six months old.

We work hard to pull from different genres, including nonfiction, young adult, and a variety of fiction. We try to set the titles two months in advance so the library can borrow hard copies or purchase audiobooks. This also helps with program promotion.

Our December meeting is often a luncheon or coffee at a local restaurant, where we discuss our individual reading for the year and make some general plans for the next six months. Our August meeting is often a picnic where the book discussed is specifically chosen because it might be interested to spouses.

Advice for Book Lovers: Find a leader that can gently balance participation by all members.

Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.

2. The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner

“Just like a story written by Austen herself, Jenner’s first novel is brimming with charming moments, endearing characters, and nuanced relationships…Readers won’t need previous knowledge of Austen and her novels to enjoy this tale’s slow revealing of secrets that build to a satisfying and dramatic ending.” —Booklist (starred review)

3. Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam

Amanda and Clay head out to a remote corner of Long Island expecting a vacation. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. Ruth and G. H. are an older couple—it’s their house, and they’ve arrived in a panic. A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong.

From their scandalous courtship to their catastrophic honeymoon aboard the Titanic, their love story is brought to life.

7. Remember by Lisa Genova

“Genova’s plentiful anecdotes from her personal and professional lives make it easy for readers to relate, and her obvious expertise in memory and the brain results in a book that is more insightful than many others on the subject. Sharp writing and accessible storytelling make for a compelling read.”—Kirkus Reviews

8. The Second Life of Mirielle West by Amanda Skenandore

For Mirielle West, the isolation and powerlessness of the Louisiana Leper Home is an unimaginable fall from her glamorous life in Hollywood’s Golden Age. When a doctor notices a pale patch of skin on her hand, she’s immediately branded a leper and carted hundreds of miles from home to Carville, taking a new name to spare her family and famous husband the shame that accompanies the disease.

9. The Saints of Swallow Hill by Donna Everhart

Where the Crawdads Sing meets The Four Winds as award-winning author Donna Everhart immerses readers in a unique setting – a turpentine camp buried deep in the vast pine forests of Georgia during the Great Depression—for a captivating story of friendship, survival, and three vagabonds’ intersecting lives…

There, those who have lost loved ones find the strength to speak to them and begin to come to terms with their grief.

11. This Time Next Year We’ll Be Laughing by Jacqueline Winspear

“[Winspear] draws distinctive portraits of postwar England, altogether different from the U.S., where she has since settled, and her unsettling struggles within the rigid British class system. An engaging childhood memoir and a deeply affectionate tribute to the author’s parents.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

12. The War Nurse by Tracey Enerson Wood

“[An] impeccably researched, well-drawn, based-on-a-true-story tale, written by a former RN…The War Nurse shines an important light on a woman whose story was, until now, lost to time.”―Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Lost Names

13. Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour

14. Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge

“Kaitlyn Greenidge’s historical fiction unites the African diaspora. Libertie is a feat of monumental thematic imagination . . . Greenidge both mines history and transcends time, centering her post-Civil-War New York story around an enduring quest for freedom . . . The sheer force of Greenidge’s vision for [Libertie], for us all, gives us hope that it won’t be long now.”—Margaret Wilkerson Sexton, The New York Times Book Review

15. Three Sisters by Heather Morris

Against all odds, three Slovakian sisters have survived years of imprisonment in the most notorious death camp in Nazi Germany: Auschwitz. Due to a last minute stroke of luck, the three of them are able to escape formation and hide in the woods for days before being rescued. Inspired by a true story, The Three Sisters will hold a place in readers’ hearts and minds as they experience what true courage really is.

16. Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder

“Bursting with fury, loneliness, and vulgarity, Yoder’s narrative revels in its deconstruction of the social script women and mothers are taught to follow…An electric work by an ingenious new voice.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

17. The Spanish Daughter by Lorena Hughes

Set against the lush backdrop of early twentieth century Ecuador and inspired by the real-life history of the coastal town known as the birthplace of cacao, this captivating #OwnVoices novel from the award-winning author of The Sisters of Alameda Street tells the story of a resourceful young chocolatier who must impersonate a man in order to survive…

18. All the Little Hopes by Leah Weiss

“Like all great southern writers, Leah Weiss’s magic turns the local into the universal. I love this coming-of-age novel – its portrayal of friendship, the complications of family, the threats that outsiders can bring. Lucy Brown and Allie Bert Tucker will break your heart, but Leah Weiss’s beautiful writing will sew it back together again.” – Wiley Cash, New York Times bestselling author of A Land More Kind than Home

19. This is Happiness by Niall Williams

Niall Williams’ latest novel is an intricately observed portrait of a community, its idiosyncrasies and its traditions, its paradoxes and its inanities, its failures and its triumphs. Luminous and otherworldly, and yet anchored with deep-running roots into the earthy and the everyday, This Is Happiness is about stories as the very stuff of life: the ways they make the texture and matter of our world, and the ways they write and rewrite us.

20. The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin

For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, their power from the sun peaking in the season of their birth. But now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic. All hope lies with Clara, an Everwitch whose rare magic is tied to every season.
