What's next on your TBR list? I am starting 10% Happier by Dan Harris today, as well as Lake Silence by Anne Bishop.

We alternate genres somewhat, but most of the ladies in the group prefer romance. When I joined (several years back now) it was way more diverse but a lot of members left/quit participating so it isn't exactly what it used to be.

Well, that's a bummer, Jennifer. I think that if we didn't have the assigned genres we would be reading mostly romance novels as well, lol.
I think the purpose of a book club is to utilize the opportunity to read books outside of your "comfort zone" and possibly discover that you like something you didn't think you would.
I'm not too picky on the genres I read, although I go through spells where I read one in particular. I find that participating in my book club helps me to break the monotony and opens me back up to genres I forgot I enjoyed.

Super creepy and very well done. The other two that follow aren't quite as good (esp. the second, which seriously lacks).

Really enjoyed this. Steamy sci fi. Exceptionally well written. Would definitely suggest this to friends or readers of romance and sci if genres.

Another short but well written book. This time with a little more suspense. I really enjoy the dynamics between the two main characters.

I love this film. Great cast, well directed and takes a turn you really don't expect. One of my fave Al Pacino films.

Amazing
This book is not the typical zombie book. The characters are well rounded and you get very attached to them.

I LOVED THIS BOOK!
This book was absolutely brilliant. I don't think I've ever seen a book deal with mental illness so well.
