March 2021 Book Club Roundup

Those celebrity and retail book club curators are at it again! Picking a fresh crop of new titles for their various reading groups. I’ve added a few more clubs to this month’s roundup, including Marie Claire’s and Stephen Curry’s. Top bookseller and library picks are now featured as well.

As of this posting, Belletrist (Emma Roberts) hasn’t announced a new title and is therefore not included. Oprah’s Book Club has shared they’ll finally be naming their next selection on March 16th, so it will be included on April’s list.

Are there any clubs I missed you’d like to see in the roundup next month? Let me know in the comments!

And that’s a wrap on the roundup!

I’ve already read two of these, namely We Begin at the End and Valentine. I enjoyed them both, but if I had to pick one to recommend it would be Chris Whitaker’s novel. It just released to universal acclaim, and my early reviewer colleagues are praising it to no end. I’ve got my eye on We Begin at the End to become the next big breakout hit, like The Help or Where the Crawdads Sing. I’ve also seen the award-winning film adaptation of Nomadland but have not read the book. My husband and I didn’t love the movie though, so I’m not sure I’ll ever revisit the story through its source material.

What are your thoughts on these book club picks? Have you read any of them? Which would you recommend to friends or for your own book club?
