    Looking for the best book club picks for 2020? We've been picking the perfect book club books for 6 years! 

    The best book club picks for 2020. Join the best online book club for busy moms.

    Are you resolving to read more in the new year? The Peanut Blossom Book Club for Recovering Readers is the very best book club for busy moms who struggle to make time to read. We are a group of friends who have been chatting about books on Facebook for the last 5+ years and we would love to have you join us.

    How We Pick the 2020 Books

    • We read only FUN, light-hearted books.
    • We avoid tear jerkers.
    • We don't take our book picks too seriously, reading is for pleasure.
    • We have a variety of genres throughout the year: romance, historical fiction, magical realism, fantasy, and mystery all make the rotation year after year.

    Our book club is NOT for anyone who:

    • Needs long-grinding 500+ pages books to feel accomplished
    • Wants each line of the book to be a mental challenge
    • Desires books with great, lasting, classical importance

    Our book club is DEFINITELY FOR anyone who:

    • Is desperately busy and struggles to find time to read
    • Used to love reading for fun before family-life became so all-encompassing
    • Misses chatting with friends over a fun book
    • Needs something light to relieve the burdens of the day
    • Wants a book club with flexibility and NO RULES or deadlines
    • Knows that occasionally reading picks outside of your comfort zone is the best way to find new favorite authors and genres

    Does this sound like you? Then, welcome!

    There are just two steps to get started:

    1. Follow along on Facebook:

    I post monthly discussion threads for each book inside our private Facebook book club. Join us here.

    You'll discover our group is filled with kind, upbeat people who just love to share their new favorite reads. We talk about all books, not just the official monthly picks. It's a great place to get new recommendations all year long.

    2. Sign up for email updates:

    Nothing is worse than having an exciting announcement and knowing that social media algorithms will filter and prevent me from getting the news to you. I don't want Facebook deciding what you see and what you don't.

    Please join my email newsletter list so you won't miss a single book club announcement.

    GET ON THE LIST HERE:



    Now that you're in the club, just grab the next book in the list that calls your attention and get reading!
