My book group rarely finds a book that we all enjoy. There is usually some spirited discussion of why it did, or did not, work for at least one of us. Well, we finally found a book that we all loved: THE CORRESPONDENT by Virginia Evans.
Some of us listened to it and enjoyed the audio experience. Others read the hardcover. It was interesting to see how it resonated with each of us. It came out in April and has been a huge “word-of-mouth” book, meaning that enthusiasm for it has been spread by people talking about it. It was not a monthly pick from a celebrity or television book group. It found its way by being a unique and clever book that has sparked conversation among readers. We talked about the characters we liked --- and how Sybil evolved as we got to know her more.
Speaking of bookish conversation, when I was at an author luncheon a couple of weeks ago, I mentioned that I had read HEART THE LOVER by Lily King. A couple of us quickly started a discussion, talking about how we read it in a day and what we loved about it. My book group is reading it next, and I am very interested in hearing what they think about it.
I suggested it because it is a relatively short book for the group, all of whom have young kids. Between Halloween (which becomes a whole production with “Trunk or Treat” events, the school parade and THE night of trick-or-treating), the Teacher’s Convention four-day weekend that is unique to New Jersey (so unique that Disney World all but calls it Jersey Week for the number of people who pluck their children from school for the entire week to hit the House of Mouse), and Thanksgiving, there will not be a lot of free time these next few weeks.
There is lots going on for us in November, including our “Bookaccino Live” Book Group with Clare Leslie Hall. The event will be held on Wednesday, November 19th at 2pm ET, and you can sign up here for it. Please note the afternoon timing as Clare lives in the UK. Our usual start time of 8pm ET would’ve had Clare joining us at 1am her time!
We will talk about her novel, BROKEN COUNTRY, a Reese’s Book Club pick and Bookreporter.com Bets On selection that released earlier this year and has sold over a million copies. Reese Witherspoon recently said that this was her favorite book of the year: “That one made me cry.” I am betting that many people will agree with Reese!
There will be a two-part Q&A session after I talk to Clare.
For the first part, those who are asking a question on camera will be featured. This includes spending time with Clare backstage in our virtual green room before the show starts. If you would like to ask your question "live on screen" this way, please email me with the subject line "Clare" by noon ET on November 19th. Be sure to include your name, city and state, as well as your question. If you do not want to appear on camera but still would like to ask a question, please note that you want to be off camera, and share your question --- adding your name, city and state.
Then we will take questions from other members of the audience.
Last Wednesday night, Paula Hawkins joined us for October’s “Bookaccino Live” Book Group event to discuss her thriller, THE BLUE HOUR, a Bets On pick that is now available in paperback. Readers asked questions before and during the program, and we covered a lot of ground, including the meaning of the book’s title.
Paula shares her love of art and how much she enjoys visiting museums as she travels. THE BLUE HOUR got its start when she was on a vacation; she saw a remote island and thought about what could happen in a place like that. Paula explains how she creates her characters and their backstories. And yes, she talks about what those blue lights at the end of the novel might mean. Click here to watch the video or here to listen to the podcast.
Continuing over the next few weeks is our BIG 25th Anniversary Contest, which we told you about in the last newsletter. We created a list of some of the most discussed books each year since Reading Group Guides launched in 2000.
Among these titles are SEABISCUIT by Laura Hillenbrand (2001), I FEEL BAD ABOUT MY NECK by Nora Ephron (2006), THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McLain (2011), LILAC GIRLS by Martha Hall Kelly (2016), THIS TENDER LAND by William Kent Krueger (2019), and THE FROZEN RIVER by Ariel Lawhon (2023).
One lucky reader will win ALL 25 books, while five others will win five of these books. Enter here by Monday, December 1st at noon ET.
Also, be sure to check out our Anniversary Feature, which includes the Most Requested Guides of last year and this year (so far), tips on starting, running and maintaining a book group; our Book Group Checkup feature; and more.
We are keeping our 25th Anniversary Book Group Survey up until Monday, December 1st at noon ET. We want to learn more about you and your book group as we have not done a survey of this magnitude for book groups since 2015.
One reader who completes the survey will win the Grand Prize of a $250 gift card to the bookstore of his or her choice. Three runners-up will win a $50 gift card to the bookstore of their choice.
A reminder that we will be hosting our 14 ½ Annual Book Group Speed Dating event next Friday, November 7th at 1pm ET. If you are a bookseller, librarian or book group leader, and would be interested in attending this event, please email me using the subject line “Speed Dating.” Tell me a bit about yourself and what you do with book groups.
This is a “trade only” event, but we will be sharing the publisher videos, PowerPoint slides and other materials later this month.

New Guide: THE BLACK WOLF by Louise Penny
THE BLACK WOLF by Louise Penny (Mystery)
Several weeks ago, Chief Inspector Armand Gamache and his team uncovered and stopped a domestic terrorist attack in Montréal, arresting the person behind it. A man they called the Black Wolf. But their relief is short-lived. In a sickening turn of events, Armand has realized that plot was just the beginning. Perhaps even a deliberate misdirection. One he fell into. Something deeper and darker, more damaging, is planned. Did he in fact arrest the Black Wolf, or are they still out there? Armand is appalled to think that his mistake has allowed their conspiracy to grow, to gather supporters. To spread lies, manufacture enemies, and feed hatred and division. Still recovering from wounds received in stopping the first attack, Armand is confined to the village of Three Pines, leading a covert investigation from there.

New Guide: JOYRIDE by Susan Orlean
JOYRIDE: A Memoir by Susan Orlean (Memoir)
JOYRIDE is a magic carpet ride through Susan Orlean’s life and career, where every day is an opportunity for discovery and every moment holds the potential for wonder. Throughout her storied career, Orlean’s curiosity draws her to explore the most ordinary and extraordinary of places, from going deep inside the head of a regular 10-year-old boy for a legendary profile (“The American Man Age Ten”) to reporting on a woman who owns 27 tigers, from capturing the routine magic of Saturday night to climbing Mt. Fuji. Orlean takes us through her process of dreaming up ideas, managing deadlines, connecting with sources, chasing every possible lead, confronting writer’s block and self-doubt, and crafting the perfect lede --- a Susan specialty.

Their son, Jamie, has taken a new job in New York, and Mort, Rocky’s widowed father, has moved in. It all couldn’t be more ridiculously normal…until Rocky finds herself obsessed with a local accident that only tangentially affects them --- and with a medical condition that, she hopes, won’t affect them at all.

HEART THE LOVER by Lily King and PLEASE DON’T LIE by Christina Baker Kline and Anne Burt
HEART THE LOVER by Lily King (Fiction)
HEART THE LOVER by Lily King is the kind of book that you can devour in a sitting. You almost have to do that as it is a truly compulsive read with a lot of heart and soul. It is written in the first person by a narrator who is not named until the very last page. Do not read that page now. Stay here with me.
The narrator starts her story in her senior year of college. Two brilliant students in her 17th-Century Lit class invite her into their world, where intellectual curiosity is keen, and they love banter and late-night card games. They nickname her Jordan, and that is how we think of her throughout the book. They are living in an off-campus house that their professor has vacated while he is on sabbatical. It’s a smart and elegant home, nothing like the single-bed cold dorm room in which Jordan is used to living.

PLEASE DON'T LIE by Christina Baker Kline and Anne Burt (Psychological Thriller)
I have known Christina Baker Kline's work for a while now. I am sure that many of you are familiar with her historical novel, ORPHAN TRAIN. So it was interesting to see that her latest book, PLEASE DON’T LIE, is a thriller that she wrote with Anne Burt. And what a thriller it is!
Two years ago, Hayley Stone lost her parents in a tragic fire. Then her sister, Jenna, overdosed and died, leaving her alone but very well-off financially. Her new husband, Brandon, sees what this is doing to her. So he recommends that they get away and begin a new life together.
