National Reading Group Month and the Annual Great Group Reads List

It's October again. That time of year where the leaves change color, everything is flavored with pumpkin, stores devote multiple aisles to candy, and in honor of National Reading Group Month, the Women's National Book Association releases its annual Great Group Reads list. I am a big fan of all of the above but especially of the Great Group Reads list. If you're in a book club, these books will make for great discussions and your book club will thank you for choosing them. If you're not, they are just plain ole great reads. Seriously, you should read 'em. In the interest of full disclosure, I am the President of the Charlotte chapter of the WNBA and a reader on the selection committee to determine this list. But don't let that put you off. :-) Now without further ado, the list for 2014-2015 is:
