The Book Club Cheerleader's Top 10 Book Club Books of 2009
Marsha Toy Engstrom, The Book Club Cheerleader™, has put together a list of Top 10 Book Club Books of 2009, along with suggestions on how to enhance discussions if you select these titles.We don't want to give away the books on the list, but here is some of what you'll find:
- A book Marsha was unhappy had been selected by her reading group...and why she ended up really enjoying it
- A favorite she wanted on the list and "out-right cheated" to have it there
- A great choice for those who typically shy away from the fantasy genre
- A novel you probably know about already unless you've been stranded on a desert island

Thanks-great list!
Spellbinding article. I'm recommending it to two friends in particular who would benefit from it.

Really enjoyed Ms. Engstrom's reviews! They are well written and provocative - I plan on printing out her list and diving in!!!
>Well, first I solicited feedback from many of the reading groups that I work with, and then I mixed them up in a hat—and pulled out MY favorites!
I love the voice of this site. Quite a joy to read.
Thanks to Marsha at BCC for her usual enthusiasm and sharing. I've just started following your reviews and criticisms and am always looking for inside info on what to read next. Dan Norton - San Diego, CA
This is the most helpful list I have found for our newly formed book club. Great article!
I loved this list. Always looking for suggestions for new reads. My sister just gave me one of the books on this list. I guess it validated her choice!
Marsha is a great ambassador for Reading. Her energy comes through clearly in her writings. I hope that she will write a book someday so that her ability to inspire others to read can be passed on. Go to her web site and decide for yourself.
Great collection. I've read many of these and would agree with the author. The other ones are now on my Christmas list!

Thanks for the article by the Book Club Cheerleeder. It's a fun article with great reading suggestions. Be sure to try her pictograms -- they are wonderful!
The Top 10 was a great read and listed some interesting books, but the activities, games and icebreakers she included via links were fabulous. I can't wait to use these with my book group as I plan to "out right cheat" to get some of these books selected. Wish there had been a link for the cheating.....
