Welcome to spring and a new round of “what did the book clubs select this month”! I have a roundup of selections from a bunch of great book clubs which are all very different from each other but all have at least a virtual component.
This month’s fiction selections: a romance that takes you into the world of podcasting (from an NPR host!); a sweeping saga over six decades of Chinese history; a literary debut centering a what-could-be-world with reparations; a near future set sci-fi where dreams are surveilled; a second-chance rom-com; a banned YA graphic novel; a multigenerational novel about three friends; a deadly magic dark academia; a twisty suspense; and a genre mix with a love triangle and courtroom drama.
And in nonfiction there’s a celebrity memoir, a history book that looks at the “myth that white women were merely bystanders in American slavery,” and a look at iconic spaces to tell a cultural history of queer women. Pick any book, pick a bunch, buddy read, fully join the book club, or just dump them all on your TBR—you can’t lose!

Eclectix The Book Club
Acts of Forgiveness by Maura Cheeks
About the book club: Dawnshaeé Reid is a self-proclaimed eclectic blogger who created this book club with Black authors as a priority. It aims to highlight a wide range of genres. There’s an in-person, once-a-month meeting option if you’re in Louisville, KY, and a virtual option that meets the last Tuesday of every month.
What Eclectix The Book Club said about the book: “Love the idea of a bold literary debut, and a book whose premise centers the conversation of reparations, race, family, and identity, I know the discussion for this one will be packed with so much depth.”
