The end of the year is quietly and quickly sneaking up on us and with it come all the lists of the best books of the year. From Amazon, to B&N to the NY Times, Publishers Weekly and USA Today - everyone's got a list. And they'll all be coming out between now and January. This is good news for us, my book club friends.

In today's guest post Erin Blakemore, author of The Heroine’s Bookshelf proposes a new idea for book clubs.
I am so looking forward to having an extra hour this weekend. I have a stack of books that I have been longing to read, and of course I have the absurdly misguided assumption that given the extra hour I will be able to work my way through them.
