Would you like to read more FUN books in the new year than you have in ages?
This is the Peanut Blossom Book Club for Recovering Readers 10th year of picking awesome book club books for women who love to read.
If reading used to be your passion but somewhere along the path of adulthood life got in the way, you're in the right place.
We are a group of 10,000+ amazing members who love to chat about books on Facebook and we want you to join us.
How Do I Pick the Books?
- Our group only reads FUN, light-hearted books.
- We avoid tear jerkers.
- We don't take our book picks too seriously, we believe reading is for pleasure.
- We read a wide variety of genres throughout the year: romance, historical fiction, magical realism, young adult, and mystery all make the rotation year after year.
- We look for a variety of voices in both authors and characters.
How To Join Our Book Club
1. Follow along on Facebook:
Every month, 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.
When you sign up for my email newsletter, I will send you all the reminders you need for our book list all year long. I've got lots of goodies planned for 2024, you won't want to miss out.

The annual December "reader's choice" month has been a tradition since the book club started. I believe it is important to give you space to choose something just for yourself.
We always celebrate together with our popular Pay it Forward Book Exchange on Facebook, too.
