There's nothing worse than being stuck with a bad book for your book club. Actually, there is something worse - being the one responsible for choosing it!

To save you from Book Club embarrassment, here are a dozen carefully selected books personally recommended by our reviewers. All have recently published in paperback, or will publish in paperback before the year end (and all are also available as ebooks).
