Beneath the Book Club: It’s time to pick our cozy November read.

By SARA VANDEN BERGE

Admit it.

The only thing you want to do right now is curl up on the couch under a comfy blanket and read.

Me too.

So, Beneath the Book Club, I’ve chosen three terrific-sounding (and very different) books to choose from for our November read.

Here they are:

1. The Intruder by Freida McFadden

No. 1 best seller in Kindle Store, 4.3 on Goodreads

WHAT AMAZON SAYS: “Who knows what the storm will blow in…

“Casey's cabin in the wilderness is not built for a hurricane. Her roof shakes, the lights flicker, and the tree outside her front door sways ominously in the wind. But she's a lot more worried about the girl she discovers lurking outside her kitchen window.

“She’s young. She’s alone. And she’s covered in blood.

“The girl won't explain where she came from or loosen her grip on the knife in her right hand. And when Casey makes a disturbing discovery in the middle of the night, things take a turn for the worse.

“The girl has a dark secret. One she’ll kill to keep. And if Casey gets too close to the truth, she may not live to see the morning.”

2. If it Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia

Instant USA Today bestseller, 4.2 on Goodreads

WHAT AMAZON SAYS: “Grab your favorite fall candle, cuddle into a comfy blanket, and travel back in time to 1997 in this cozy, slow-burn romance set in the autumn glow of small-town Vermont.

“My new next-door neighbor seems to have everything figured out. Small town golden boy? Check. Single dad extraordinaire? Check. Hot baker forearms? I didn’t notice them, I swear.

"I, on the other hand, don’t – at all - have anything figured out.

“Trust me, I didn’t think taking over my mom’s dream bed and breakfast in Copper Run Vermont was going to be easy. It should be a good place to heal after my divorce. But apparently my scones belong in the garbage with my small talk skills.

“As pointed out by none other than Cliff.

“Cliff is inescapable. He knows exactly what people need–always. His charm, the way he wears flannel, and even his pastries, make not wanting to be friends with Cliff and his daughters pretty hard.

“Friends? I can make friends. That’s safe.

“Except I’m leaving in three months to pass the inn off to my little sister and get the promotion in Seattle I’ve been working towards. So ask me why I’m thinking about kissing my hot neighbor.”

3. How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley

4.1 on Goodreads

WHAT AMAZON SAYS: “A senior citizens’ center and a daycare collide with hilarious results in the new ensemble comedy from New York Times-bestselling author Clare Pooley

“When Lydia takes a job running the Senior Citizens’ Social Club three afternoons a week, she assumes she’ll be spending her time drinking tea and playing gentle games of cards.

“The members of the Social Club, however, are not at all what Lydia was expecting. From Art, a failed actor turned kleptomaniac to Daphne, who has been hiding from her dark past for decades to Ruby, a Banksy-style knitter who gets revenge in yarn, these seniors look deceptively benign—but when age makes you invisible, secrets are so much easier to hide.

“When the city council threatens to sell the doomed community center building, the members of the Social Club join forces with their tiny friends in the daycare next door—as well as the teenaged father of one of the toddlers and a geriatric dog—to save the building.

“Together, this group’s unorthodox methods may actually work, as long as the police don’t catch up with them first.”
