[aisle] Adult book club recs?

[Holtz, Alan C. (BMS)]

We did the same thing. Our faculty book club read Fighting Words and Maybe He Just Likes You. This year we are reading Black Boy Joy and probably Starfish.

The cool part was we used Title I money to pay for the copies of the books (and then the books were placed into the participating faculty members’ classroom libraries.

Enjoy,
Alan, serving Brooks Middle School in Bolingbrook

I have an adult book club at my middle school, too. Some of our favorites have been Scythe, One of Us is Lying, Lovely War and Salt to the Sea. Of those,  I'd say Salt to the Sea would be a quick read. I'd love to hear other suggestions as well.

Hi everyone!

Last year staff members at both my middle and elementary school were asking if I could start a staff book club (for fun - not educational! Lol) So I did. And we’ve had a good turn out.

Our next turn around is shorter than usual, so I was looking for a shorter adult or YA book (like 250 pages or so) that would be appealing to a wide range of readers and can generate good discussion. All genres are accepted.

Any recommendations you have are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
Rikki Steinmetz

(In case you are interested, here are our past reads: The Last Thing He Told Me, The Sanitorium, The Plot, and this month is The Night Watchman).
