When I was putting together our top three BookBubble Book Club reads of 2023 (see previous post if you’re interested), I realised that this is our fourth Christmas since we formed during lockdown. And we’ve just chosen our 57th book to read together. That’s a lot of pages that we’ve shared! It’s been a huge amount of fun, with plenty of lively discussions and a lot of laughter. So I’m indulging in a little look back at our top ten since we started (with only one point between our top read and number 10, so really not much in it at all). Our list includes historical fiction, cozy crime, non fiction and contemporary fiction so pretty varied. Here they are, in reverse order…
10th – Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
8th – Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver &
The Volunteer by Jack Fairweather6th – Small Pleasures by Clare Chambers &
The Light Between Oceans by ML Stedman
5th – Still Life by Sarah Winman
4th – Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead
2nd – All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr &
Meredith Alone by Claire Alexander
1st – The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
