Not too long ago, I wrote about how book clubs are having a moment for our Deep Dive newsletter. In addition to other reasons, it seems like our increased time at home — coupled with our love of books, of course — has led to us wanting to gather ‘round to talk mess and books more often.

I haven’t discussed book club things much in this newsletter, and thought I should start by letting you know of different monthly book club picks by various online book clubs. Below, I have the recent past selections of a few book clubs, and picks for May by a few others. If you’re looking for a good BIPOC book to read that will lend itself especially well to a book club environment, these are a great place to start.
