All year long, BookBrowse Book Club members meet in our online forum to discuss the latest featured titles. In 2024, we’ve hosted stimulating discussions of 19 books, a couple of which are still in progress and all of which are available for you to browse in full. Below, we glance back over some of our most popular selections. We hope you enjoy perusing them and find them a useful resource (and inspiration!) for your own book club discussions.

We look forward to the coming year and the future of our new forum, where members can not only join in on our planned discussions but have all kinds of conversations on book-related subjects. The forum is open to everyone to read and follow along, so please visit. If you’re excited about any upcoming discussions, we recommend signing up for a one-time notification to be alerted when they begin. We hope to see you there!

Reading books is a fulfilling, engaging pastime. Reading what other people have to say about books is just plain fun, and an enticing way to find your latest great read. BookBrowse's First Impressions program brings honest, informative reader reviews to discerning book lovers. By only accepting reviews from members, who receive books months ahead of publication, we ensure that the ratings and opinions given are free from outside influence and reflect the personal perspectives of readers.

In 2024, our First Impressions readers reviewed more than 30 books. From those, we’ve chosen the most well reviewed selections to feature below. We hope you enjoy exploring these titles, plus the hundreds in our archives, and we look forward to bringing you more reader-reviewed books in 2025!

As we review new titles at BookBrowse throughout the year, we also strive to bring you intriguing interviews with our featured authors. Author interviews can provide glimpses of the visions behind books we love, make us excited about reading books, and serve as enjoyable reading experiences in themselves, especially when they unfold as in-depth conversations between interviewers and writers. Below, we highlight just a few of our favorite Q&As with authors whose books we covered in 2024.
