Book clubs seem to be more popular than ever, which is good news for bookworms and casual readers alike. But what are the best books for book clubs in 2026?
When it comes to picking your book club books, we’ve got you covered. We consulted with an array of authors, book influencers, publishing professionals, and of course, the Glamour staff, to come up with a list of books you might want to consider for your book club in 2026. These titles range from thriller to fantasy to speculative fiction, but they all have one thing in common: They’ll definitely spark a great conversation.
If you don’t belong to a book club yet, there’s always the option of starting one of your own either online or IRL. You could have a cohesive genre theme, or change it up monthly, because if there’s one thing that’s great about book clubs, it’s that there are no hard-and-fast rules. Five readers in your living room with wine and apps? Dozens of romantasy fans over Zoom? The possibilities are endless.

It’s a perfect film, but I trust this spin will honor Ephron’s timeless characters while exploring new ground.
