Book Club genre change, next lineup

At the last book club meeting it was proposed that we re-vamp the genres of books we read and their order of appearance in the que. We also selected the following books to discuss. Hopefully this will allow people to read at their own pace and grab books as they find them for good prices (can we say Amazon Super Saver shipping?)

In an effort to save space (and keep it brief for people less interested) I have posted short synopses/reviews of each book at the official blog of our book club at http://youvegottoreadthisbook.blogspot.com

FYI These books and categories were selected by the majority of people in attendance (if you don't like it I'm sorry! I'm just the messenger!)

Does anyone volunteer to lead discussions for the needed books?

Many thanks to all you awesome ladies who make Book Club so fun.
