As you can imagine, it totally depends upon the interests and makeup of your group (male? female? both? 40s? 50s? 60s? 70s? Audio Book listeners or actual readers? Etc.) But here are some good reads that our Book Club (70s+) has enjoyed:
Educated by Tara Westover I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens A Higher Call by Adam Makos The Good, Good Pig by Sy Montgomery (anything by Sy Montgomery) A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge Last Boat Out of Shanghai by Helen Zia Summer Before the War by Helen Simonsen West With the Night by Beryl Markham Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins A Man Called Ove by Fredric Backman The Light Between Oceans by M L Stedman John Adams by David McCullough Washington Black by Esi Edugyan
This is my go to site. I have looked at the others, but Golden Carers has a sense of fun and creativity that makes the activities we do enjoyable for all. They are adaptable for all levels. We did the Olympic Day and had a blast. Everyone got up and participated !!! Thank you.
