Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations has another great list out for book clubs. It’s called Book Club Recommendations That Feature Women of Another Era. My contribution to the list is A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly. When we read it in my mother-daughter book club, most of the moms and daughters liked it, which is something that doesn’t happen very often. We also had a great discussion about how times for women have changed. Check out the whole list for ideas from other book bloggers.

Peter at Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations has been busy posting lists in the last few days. Just a few days ago he posted The Best Books About Love…That Your Book Club Probably Hasn’t Read (I contributed to that one). Now comes a list for young readers and interesting choices for mother-daughter book clubs called The Most Romantic Young Adult Books of All Time. I was surprised to find that I haven’t read any of the books on the list. My daughters have read Crown Duel, and they really liked it. And Graceling, Jellicoe Road and Beautiful Creatures are all on my list. Now I’m even more excited to check them out.

I’ve just contributed to a new list for Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations called 9 of the Best Books About Love…That Your Book Club Probably Hasn’t Read. Check out my contribution, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith, and those of other book bloggers.

In December Peter at Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations published a list of great books for book clubs compiled by a list of book bloggers, including me. He’s been getting great response to that list, along with his multiple other lists for book clubs. Now, he’s hoping to find more book clubs who are willing to put together a list for him. I’ve already created lists for mother-daughter book clubs in four age groups, the first of which went up on his site yesterday. It’s a list of recommendations for mother-daughter book clubs with girls who are 7 and 8. Compilations for readers aged 9 and 10, 11 to 13 and 14+ should be up soon.

Here’s a message from Peter on what he’s looking for:

Open Call for Lists of Book Club Recommendations!

“Hello and happy new year from Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations—where you can find books so good, they’ll keep you up past your bedtime.

It seems the book club community has recently discovered my book club recommendations. From the feedback, not only are the lists very much enjoyed, but people are clamoring for more.

That’s where you come in. While I’ve read plenty of books, I’m looking to book club members to contribute new lists—themed, annotated lists of highly discussable books.

Can you name and describe 5+ flashlight worthy, discussable books that follow a theme? Maybe ’7 Great Books that Revolve Around Food’? Or ’6 Women’s Memoirs That Will Start an Argument’. How About ’5 Discussable Novels Set in Africa’?

Take a look at the lists I have and give it some thought. If you’re interested, email me at Info AT flashlightworthy DOT com. Thanks so much and have a great new year!
