Did you know that The 52 Book Club has a dedicated Goodreads group? We also have a Goodreads List for EACH of the 2023 prompts. This makes it easy to see what other 52 Book Club members are reading and is a great go-to spot if you need recommendations. (A huge round of applause to our admin, Lindsey, who organizes these!) To help you easily find the links for each prompt, we’ve compiled a list below!
