Welcome to the after-Halloween month known as November! If you thought that book clubs would slow down during the holiday months, you would be wrong. There’s a wide range of different book clubs—many with a focus, all with remote options, and a couple host an in-person event—which means the books selected offer tons of options in different genres, categories, moods, types, and tropes. Whether you’re planning on reading curled up indoors or taking your book on the go (thank you ebooks and audiobooks!) in November, there’s something here for you.
NYPL’s Teen Banned Book Club pick was selected in October but runs through November, so you still have time to read and join the November 21st event.
This month’s collection of book club picks include historical fiction set in pre-Civil War New Orleans, a translated South Korean novel, a memoir about leaving the Evangelical church and creating new community, a missing person mystery set on a reservation, historical fiction set in 1960s New York following the residents of a women’s hotel, a new mystery novel by the author of The Girl on the Train, a memoir by an Indigenous activist, a novel set over decades in England and Lagos inspired by Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park, a darkly funny novel with a messy main character, and a dual timeline historical love story. Also, after a hiatus, Amor en Páginas is back with a contemporary romance pick!
Women’s Hotel by Daniel M. Lavery
About the book club: Author Roxane Gay (Bad Feminist, Ayiti, The Banks) selects a book every month with the goal of uplifting “authentic and necessary perspectives from writers who fearlessly share their stories.”

Luster by Raven Leilani
About the book cub: Hosted by Traci Thomas, The Stacks is a podcast that chats all about books, and there’s a monthly book club! The book chosen for the month is discussed on the podcast the last week of the month with a selected special guest.
What The Stacks Book Club said about the book: “Our November book club pick is the novel Luster by Raven Leilani. This novel is about a young Black woman who gets involved with a white middle aged married man whose wife is down for an open relationship. It is raw, it is provocative, it is messy and it is darkly funny. Our episode on Luster will be out on Wednesday, November 27. Tune in next week to find out who our guest will be.”
