Women Writers Book Club recommendations??

By MistRestless2003

Sorry in advance for the long one 😅 but I run a monthly Women Writers Book Club out of my local library and we’ve been meeting since Jan 2022. The only rule is the author has to be a woman, and I try to mix up genres/styles as much as I can. I’m making the 2025 list and I’m stuck in a way I honestly didn’t expect—like, I cannot think of anything to add for the later part of the year. Can you guys throw out suggestions for books by women that would work for a discussion? Here’s what we’ve already read, plus the ones already picked for 2025 (so I don’t repeat stuff): Already read: - A Room of One’s Own — Virginia Woolf - Becoming — Michelle Obama - The Poisonwood Bible — Barbara Kingsolver - Somebody’s Daughter — Ashley C. Ford - Jane Eyre — Charlotte Brontë - Wide Sargasso Sea — Jean Rhys - It Ends With Us — Colleen Hoover - I’ll Give You The Sun — Jandy Nelson - Persuasion — Jane Austen - Once and Future Witches — Alix Harrow - The Bluest Eye — Toni Morrison - Circe — Madeline Miller - Crying in H Mart — Michelle Zauner - The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo — Taylor Jenkins Reid - Cultish — Amanda Montell - The Bell Jar — Sylvia Plath - Black Cake — Charmaine Wilkerson - Emma — Jane Austen - The Handmaid’s Tale — Margaret Atwood - I’m Glad My Mom Died — Jennette McCurdy - Mexican Gothic — Silvia Moreno-Garcia - The Paris Apartment — Lucy Foley - Everything I Know About Love — Dolly Alderton - Their Eyes Were Watching God — Zora Neale Hurston - Five Little Indians — Michelle Good - Know My Name — Chanel Miller - Homegoing — Yaa Gyasi - Kindred — Octavia Butler - Wordslut — Amanda Montell - Pride and Prejudice — Jane Austen - Funny Story — Emily Henry - The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks — Rebecca Skloot - The Color Purple — Alice Walker - And Then There Were None — Agatha Christie - Yellowface — R.F. Kuang - The Book of Rosy — Rosayra Pablo Cruz & Julie Schwietert Collazo Already picked / club picks for 2025: - By Any Other Name — Jodi Picoult - Firekeeper’s Daughter — Angeline Boulley - Loud — Drew Afualo - Pachinko — Min Jin Lee - Olga Dies Dreaming — Xochitl Gonzalez - Sense and Sensibility — Jane Austen - Americanah — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie - The Unmaking of June Farrow — Adrienne Young - The Haunting of Hill House — Shirley Jackson WHEW. TL;DR: I need help picking new women-authored books for the rest of 2025—what should we read?
