The Well-Read Woman Book Club discussion

This will be our third book pick with our book club and there still may be an adjustment period to get this group acclimated with book selections, but I'm happy to have you guys! The plan is to select and read one classic book and either one contemporary classic or popular pick every month, then discuss the work and related topics together.

Please list any nominations for our book picks for April 2020 here, and refer to Bookshelf Suggestion: How-To for ideas on types of books to nominate! Feel free to nominate up to three books for each section, we'll pick from the most popular or seconded listed. If there aren't enough nominations, I'll plan to make up the remainder with a variety of books and we can develop our future selections from there.
