Top Ten Tuesday | Books to Read with Your Book Club


This is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing girls over at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is top books to read with your book club.

I am not actually in a formal book club. I do participate in Groups on Goodreads, but that is all of the book club experience that I have. So, I am going to put my own twist on today's topic. I am going to list the books that I think lead to the best discussions. Because, this is really what book clubs do, right?




Tessa

The Giver by Lois Lowry

The Giver (The Giver, #1)

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

The Maze Runner (Maze Runner, #1)

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

The Book Thief
The Help by Kathryn Stockett

The Help
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke

Inkheart (Inkworld, #1)
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (or anything else by him)

The Fault in Our Stars
Unwind by Neal Shusterman

Unwind (Unwind, #1)
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
The 5th Wave (The Fifth Wave, #1)

Uglies by Scott Westerfield

Uglies (Uglies, #1)
I believe that all of these books are worth the time and effort to read. They create wonderful, complex, and sometimes funny conversations.
I realize that most of them are science fiction/dystopian. Personally, I love talking about the future. There are infinite directions for discussion can go when you are talking about the future. The darker books also are the ones that bring up the question of morals. The Giver, The Maze Runner, The HUnger Games, and Unwind all focus on the hard questions. 
I hope you found some books to bring to your next book club meeting!
