Overwhelmed by what to read from the past year? We’ve gathered the fiction, nonfiction, and young adult titles we recommended in 2024 that also appear on at least one of the favorite lists from:
BookRiot, Kirkus Reviews, Library Journal, Bookpage, New York Times, Publishers Weekly, School Library Journal, Washington Post,
Here are the titles — a mix of fiction and nonfiction — that caught our readers’ attention from January to December: the most popular books in 2024. Do you remember these great reads? See if they match your own group’s most popular books…
Each year Reading Group Choices sends out a survey to learn more about you, our readers, and your favorite books from the year. When you enter the survey you are also entered to win a $100 gift certificate to your local bookstore, five copies of Reading Group Choices’ 30th anniversary edition, and a RGC totebag!
Based on your responses, we create an annual list of the most popular books and highlight the survey winners.
Reading Group Choices is pleased to share the Women’s National Book Association (WNBA) Great Group Reads 2020 list, part of their National Reading Group Month initiative!
This annual month-long celebration provides an opportunity for reading groups worldwide to celebrate their accomplishments and plan for the future. It’s also a perfect time to join or start a reading group! Every October, WNBA organizes events nationwide and announces an annual list of book selections for reading groups: Great Group Reads.

Every month, Reading Group Choices collaborates with a publisher to give away books to our readers. This past August, in collaboration with Harper Perennial, Reading Group Choices ran a giveaway for 20 copies of The Shadow Key by Susan Stokes-Chapman. One of those copies found its way to a Little Free Library in Northern California with a great community behind it. Read more from the giveaway winner below!
Our book club was created as an offering of the Y Active Adults (55+) program at the YMCA Mission Valley branch in San Diego. The club has been meeting for 2+ years and is open to all active adult members of the Y. We currently have 13 members who attend regularly and share a love of books and life! While we only met because of our Y connection, we now consider ourselves friends.
