The key challenge facing reading groups every month is deciding which book to read next. So we've decided to feature, in one place, all the books from our lists that we feel are particularly suitable for reading groups. Some are brand new, some were published years ago, but all are wonderful reads and worthy of discussion - whether you're a member of a reading group or not! All titles listed here are available in paperback and we will add books as and when they are published in paperback.
