From Booklist
The authors have fashioned a blueprint for a delightfully varied year of reading, reflection, and discussion. Whether it be for the member of an established book club, a novice attempting to launch a reading group, or an independent reader looking for suggestions, this guide offers something for everyone. It is organized around the calendar year; five titles designated as crowd pleasers, classics, challenges, memoirs, or potluck options are provided for each month. In addition to selections centering on appropriately seasonal themes, there are brief descriptions of each book, thought-provoking discussion questions, information about the authors, video and Internet resources, and lists of related readings. Literary discussion groups will welcome this invaluable resource. Margaret Flanagan

Reader Reviews
When I received "A Year of Reading" by Elisabeth Ellington I was amazed at the diversity of books she has listed and researched for members of book clubs or individual readers like myself. Her categories under each month allow me to select a writing style that fits my 'personal preference' for that month, whether it is the Crowd Pleaser, a Classic, or an intriguing Memoir. I have shared this book with several people, one of whom is a used book dealer who is planning to help her customers find the right book for their 'personal preference' using Ms. Ellington's book. She finds that many customers are unfamiliar with current authors and she felt this book would be useful to both her customers and to her in stocking her store. I have given it to my daughter who is an avid Classical book reader. Her first love is the literature of the 19th century. She reads with a critical mind even when reading for pleasure. She has also expressed great interest in expanding her reading realm. This book is all about reading to suit your personal preference and I highly recommend it for the insight it will provide its readers.
