Our Favorite Monthly Lists & Picks for December
Each month, we share top book picks from Indie Next and LibraryReads. We also feature a number of other prominent selections, including the Barnes & Noble Book Club, the "Good Morning America" Book Club, Oprah’s Book Club, the PBS Books Readers Club, the "Read with Jenna" Book Club, Reese's Book Club, and the Target Book Club.
Jane Austen’s classic, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, is December's “Read with Jenna” Book Club pick. Jenna Bush Hager says, “My grandmother, Barbara, was the one who introduced me to Jane Austen. I'll never forget it. We listened to PRIDE AND PREJUDICE on tape, because yes, listening to books is reading. It was in her bedroom and I would come in every afternoon that I was staying with her in Maine. We would read it and then we'd watch the whole PBS miniseries.”
