February's Picks of the Month

It's time for February's picks of the month! Sorry they came in a bit late. Additionally, as some of you may have seen in our tweet, we'll be starting off with four choices instead of eight as a way to warm things up. Remember, you can always read one, two, or all of the books on our list, if you want to!

Fiction:

The Girl On the Train by Paula Hawkins
(Available from Barnes & Noble or Amazon)

This thriller was recently released and has been getting a lot of buzz (naturally). Let's see for ourselves what all the hype is about!

Fantasy/Sci-Fi:

The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women edited by Alex Dally MacFarlane
(Available from Barnes & Noble  or Amazon)

What better choice for this category than an anthology of short science-fiction stories, written entirely by women?

History/Biography:

So, Anyway... by John Cleese
(Available from Barnes & Noble or Amazon)

Does this book even require an introduction? I rest my case.

Children's/Young Adult:

Rooftoppers by Katherine Rundell
(Available from Barnes & Noble or Amazon)

If ever there was a book to remind you of why you loved reading as a child, it's this one.



As I'm sure you noticed, we didn't go real heavy on the science or non-fiction this month. If that's your thing, don't worry. We've got plenty of that coming up next month. For this month, pick your book, grab a copy from your local library or bookstore, start reading and when you're done, join the discussion by writing a review (or better yet, making a video!) and sending it to us at womensdiversitybookclub@gmail.com so we can feature it on the blog and get other like-minded women readers to comment and share. Happy reading!
