35 Best Book Club Picks of 2021

Collection

Book clubs are a great way to spark conversations and connect with people. After reading a really good book, I am always curious to know what other people thought of it. It is interesting to see how each person interprets a book differently and the animated discussions which follow based on how you relate to the book. 

If you are looking for engrossing reads for your book club, here are some suggestions. These books published in 2021 include thrillers, romances, literary fiction, biographies, nonfiction, historical fiction and much more. It is always good to mix it up, read a lighthearted romantic comedy book one month followed by a thought provoking memoir or a dark and twisty mystery next!
