It seems like just yesterday that we choose our last three books and here we are already choosing the next three. A few of the girls next door have mentioned that they would like to see different types of books and styles of writing to mix things up a bit for the next three months. With hundreds of genres to choose from there are endless possibilities in fictional writing. We could read a popular short story, anthologies, poetry, a mystery or a graphic novel. We can go back to the classics, target books made into movies, or read Pulitzer or Nobel Prize winning novels. Of course, we are not limited to just fiction, we can choose biographies, travelogues, motivational books or even a cookbook.
If you're not sure what to recommend The New York Times Book Review has lists of best sellers and countless reviews; not only will it help you choose your recommendation but it will help you sell it to the rest of the girls. Another good site is Bookreporter.com , in addition to reviews this site has bookclub guides, lists of award winners and release dates of movies from books .
So you can see there are many choices, just so little time.

I also look at the Entertainment Weekly book section for reviews - they rate them A through F. Also, Vanity Fair and the New Yorker are great references for new book reviews. I think we will have a very lively discussion about new selections.
