Some girls I went to high school with and I are going to start a book club and can't decide on books can anyone name a few?
We dont mind what type of books just any books will do we just need some suggestions.Anyone have any good books for a book club?
Some books I loved:
*Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors
*Leslie's Journal by Allan Stratton
*Exposed by Susan Vaught
*Katie.com: My Story by Katherine Tarbox
*Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim
*Such A Pretty Girl by Laura Wiess
*Leftovers by Laura Wiess
*Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
*The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
*Random Acts of Heroic Love by Danny Scheinmann
*The Love of My Life by Louise Douglas
*PS I Love you by Cecelia Ahern
*The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
*The Linnet Bird by Linda Holeman
*A Fine and Private Place by Peter S. Beagle
*Willow by Julia Hoban
*Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho
Geez where to start!
One of the best suggestions I can give would have to be Australian writer Louise Limerick's 1st novel Dying for Cake. This is due to a little note oh her website stating that she will do a phone interview with you at your bookclub meetup when discussing the book! Pretty good hey!?
Here is the link:

I also recently stubled accross a website that gives you discussion points for individual books. You need to choose a book and click on it, then at the bottom there is a PDF file you need to open for the discussion points.

Its always hard to get a book that everyone will enjoy. The trick is to pick something that will spark a good discussion, so something that may be hard hitting, or a good mystery (ome will guess it before the end - others won't).
Some good books I have read myself that I think would be good for a group are:
Lullabies for Little Criminals - Heather O'Neill
http://www.harpercollins.com/books/97800鈥?/a>
Anatomy of Wings - Karen Foxlee
http://www.readinggroupguides.com/guides鈥?/a>
The Household Guide to Dying - Debra Adelaide

The Memory Keeper's Daughter - Kim Edwards
