Once again, it's my turn to chose the next book for my personal book club and, even though I'm a librarian, the pressure is on to find a great read. I have to say that my suggestions are usually well received but I'll admit to choosing a clinker or two in my ten year tenure with the group.

As I'm always on the look-out for books that have both appeal and substance, I thought I'd share this list of book club picks from Lynn Neary of NPR. Based on her suggestions, my group is going to read Wench by Dolen Perkins-Valdez in February.

Hope this helps with your next selection.
