 Welcome,
book clubbers! I frequently speak with book clubs around
St. Louis (and even around the country), and I helped
start the Brentwood Book Club at my local library about
three years ago. So I'm a big fan of discussion groups,
and I'm always pleased when clubs choose to talk about
my books. I've made up some simple reading group guides
for each of my titles, if you're interested. Or, if
you'd like to arrange for me to visit with your group,
please email me at susan@susanmcbride.com.
I've even spoken with clubs via conference calls, so
no meeting is ever too far away!

I'm often asked by book clubbers where to find good
reading group guides, and I highly recommend this site:
ReadingGroupGuides
I'm always curious as to what other book clubs are reading,
and I found this list of top ten titles compiled by
Reading Group Choices. Here's what they said their favorites
were:
- THE KITE RUNNER by Khaled Hosseini
- THE GLASS CASTLE by Jeannette Walls
- SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN by Lisa See
- THE MEMORY KEEPER'S DAUGHTER by Kim Edwards
- MY SISTER'S KEEP by Jodi Picoult
- THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY by Erik Larson
- MARCH by Geraldine Brooks
- NICKEL AND DIMED by Barbara Ehrenreich
- ANGRY HOUSEWIVES EATING BON BONS by Lorna Landvik
- THE HISTORY OF LOVE by Nicole Krauss
My club read several of those, including THE KITE RUNNER
and THE DEVIL IN THE WHITE CITY. But those weren't my
favorite reads. Here are some of my top picks:
- LYING AWAKE by Mark Salzman
- EVA MOVES THE FURNITURE by Margot Livesey
- SHADOW BABY by Alison McGhee
- IN GOD WE TRUST, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH by Jean Shepherd
- THE YEAR OF SILENCE by Madison Smartt Bell
- THE COLOR OF WATER by James McBride
- THE ICE HARVEST by Scott Phillips
- IRON LAKE by William Kent Krueger
- ICED by Jenny Siler
So what's your group reading? Email
me and tell me, so I can share your picks with other
book clubs here!
