# Best book club books

A good book club book divides the room. These are the ones that got the most argument in our own monthly club, with the question that started it.

## Frequently asked questions

### What makes a good book club book?

A choice a character makes that half the room disagrees with. Plot twists are fun, but moral grey areas are what fill an hour of conversation.

### How long should a book club book be?

Under 400 pages if you meet monthly. Longer books lose people, and a book nobody finished is a short meeting.

### Can I join the Bella Bugs book club?

Yes — it's free, there's a new pick every month and the discussion thread opens on the site. Create a reader account to join in.
