Updated May 3, 2013
We have also arranged the Book Group Choices chronologically, January 2017 to current and 2002 to 2016
Each 
indicates how many bookgroups have
selected the title since 2002, as we have carried over the stars from earlier
author lists (see below). No s means the book has only been selected once. Non-fiction titles are in Bold. Children’s titles have a juv after the title and Young Adult titles have a YA .
