The Well-Read Woman Book Club discussion

Please list any nominations for our book picks for October 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.

Contemporary Classic/Best Seller:

We will have the poll up around the 15th of each month for a week's period of voting, with enough time to ensure our own copies.

I'll contribute a few book suggestions to gain some momentum and get us started! Note that any books seconded will most likely be featured on the monthly poll.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
The Beautiful and Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
