Book Club Book of the Year
Saturday, December 27th, 2003 08:53In the MF Book Club board, someone pointed out that "Poor Things" is the 13th monthly selection of the Book Club, which means that we've seen a complete year since the Book Club was started, with Poor Things starting the second year. So he thought it might be interesting to try and come up with a 'Book Club Book of the Year' based on the first 12 rounds (14 books, as two months included separate fiction & non-fiction books).
