Read the following books with your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.meetup.com\/blog\/7-book-club-alternatives-to-try-with-friends\/\">book club<\/a> to ensure your group is ready to discuss the next viral reading sensation while it\u2019s still trending and before the pop culture moment moves on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-of-us-is-lying-october-peacock\"><em>One of Us is Lying<\/em>, October, Peacock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One of Us Is Lying | Official Trailer | Peacock Original\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TWVMBfMpFiU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Peacock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever thought \u201cThe Breakfast Club but make it murder mystery and add a dash of Gossip Girl,\u201d then oh do we have the book (and show!) for you. <em>One of Us is Lying<\/em> centers on five high school students who get stuck together in detention, but rather than breaking down shallow stereotypes as they come together with the common goal of ruining the killjoy principal\u2019s day, one of them ends up dead. The victim, Simon, is the school\u2019s resident gossipmonger and poised to post juicy revelations that will expose each of his four fellow detainees: Bronwyn, Addy, Nate, and Cooper. With them all pinpointed as prime suspects in his murder, the question then becomes, whose secret was worth killing for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first three episodes of this YA-thriller have already hit Peacock, with three episodes coming out each week for the next two weeks, giving you and your book club more than enough time to devour this mystery before the finale airs on October 21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>The Last Duel<\/em>, October 15, theaters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Last Duel | Official Teaser\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_neyKOWX9z0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: 20th Century Studios<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A compelling account of the last (officially recognized) duel in France\u2019s history, <em>The Last Duel <\/em>is a complex political thriller full of twists and turns (and yes, some pretty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gq.com\/story\/lets-talk-about-the-hair-in-the-last-duel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ridiculous hair<\/a>). When Marguerite de Carrouges (Jodie Comer) accuses her husband\u2019s (Matt Damon) friend, squire, and rival (Adam Driver) of rape, a duel is sanctioned to determine the truth. Although not yet clear what changes director Ridley Scott may have made when adapting Eric Jager\u2019s 2004 novel for the screen, both book and movie are sure to spark intense discussion in almost any book club (for instance, on a scale of 1 to Ben Platt\u2019s Dear Evan Hansen wig, just how terrible is the medieval mullet and bleach blonde bowl cut).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Passing<\/em>, October 29, Netflix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Passing | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/trwq3CNCMkU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Netflix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nella Larsen\u2019s <em>Passing<\/em> is one of the most important novels in the American literary canon, just as vital to understanding the US in the 20s as Fitzgerald\u2019s <em>The Great Gatsby<\/em> or Wharton\u2019s <em>The Age of Innocence<\/em>. Named for the term that describes when members of marginalized ethnicities hide their identity in order to be perceived as white, the book chronicles two mixed-race childhood best friends, Clare (Ruth Negga) and Irene (Tessa Thompson), who reunite in adulthood and confront their own as well as each other\u2019s choices with tragic results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This long-overdue adaptation is already getting plenty of love from critics and early award-season buzz. The short book is a good match for book clubs ready to unpack difficult conversations around race, class, gender, and sexuality both in the context of the roaring twenties and today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Ragdoll<\/em>, November 11, AMC+<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ragdoll Official Trailer | Coming Soon to AMC+\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X7HaV7IOpu8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: AMC<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with sensitive stomachs beware, this one is gruesome. Based on the first book in Daniel Cole\u2019s Fawkes and Baxter series, <em>Ragdoll<\/em> follows investigators Nathan Rose, Emily Baxter, and Lake Edmunds (the last of whom is played by Lucy Hale) as they investigate a serial killer who dismembers six victims and then stitches them together into something that resembles a human ragdoll. The killer targets Rose (who in the book is named William Fawkes), forcing him to reconcile a dark past as he tries to find the link between himself and the other would-be victims before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this doesn\u2019t seem to be the most faithful adaptation on this list, both the book and the show are a great pick for book clubs that can\u2019t get enough of murder mysteries with contemporary noir twists (plus, if nothing else, the necessity of some of the book-to-screen changes will be sure to spark some passionate debates).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Wheel of Time<\/em>, November 19, Amazon Prime<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Wheel Of Time \u2013 Official Teaser Trailer | Prime Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3Fus4Xb_TLg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Prime Video<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Still searching for the show that will fill the Game-of-Thrones-sized hole in your TV schedule (or maybe just wipe away the memory of that disastrous final season)? Look no further than Amazon\u2019s upcoming <em>Wheel of Time<\/em> adaptation, which is based on a bestselling series oft-revered as one of the greatest high fantasy sagas ever written. Originally published in 1990 by Robert Jordon, the last few books in the series were finished by Brandon Sanderson after Jordon\u2019s death in 2007.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story takes place in both Earth\u2019s distant past as well as its future, exploring the idea of a cyclical timeline in which events repeat during different periods in history. The first season of amazon\u2019s adaptation will focus on the first book in the series, <em>The Eye of the World<\/em>, in which an all-female magical organization called the Aes Sedai are racing against the villainous Dark One in search of a reincarnated messiah figure (the Dragon Reborn) who is fated to either save or doom humanity. Fans have been hotly anticipating this adaptation for decades now and it\u2019s sure to generate plenty of buzz when it lands on Amazon Prime later this year (oh, and did we mention it stars the always pitch-perfect Rosamund Pike?!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>House of Gucci<\/em>, November 24, theaters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"HOUSE OF GUCCI | Official Trailer | MGM Studios\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pGi3Bgn7U5U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: MGM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ladygaga\/status\/1369377714810068997?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">now iconic photo<\/a> of Lady Gaga and co-star Adam Driver on set to \u201cFather, Son, House of Gucci\u201d at the end of the latest trailer, <em>House of Gucci<\/em> is the literary adaptation that has already launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.papermag.com\/lady-gagas-house-of-gucci-memes-2651012732.html?rebelltitem=18#rebelltitem18\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a thousand memes<\/a>. Based on a 2000 work of nonfiction by Sara Gay Forden, it details the behind-the-scenes struggles that lead to the Gucci family losing control of their fashion empire and the sensationalized murder of the last family member to run Gucci, Maurizio (Driver), orchestrated by his wife, Patrizia (Gaga).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the past few months of press around this movie have been any indication, <em>House of Gucci<\/em> will be an internet sensation from the moment it\u2019s released. Whether your book club\u2019s members love a good true-crime thriller or just crave the rush of staying ahead of the pop culture curve, don\u2019t hesitate to make this book your pre-Thanksgiving read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Nightmare Alley<\/em>, December 17, theaters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NIGHTMARE ALLEY | Official Teaser Trailer | Searchlight Pictures\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k-qVV8zyVmI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Searchlight Pictures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The master of fantastically horrific and horrifically fantastic cinema, Guillermo del Toro is back with a movie sure to draw a crowd when it hits theaters this December. Based on a 1946 book by William Lindsay Gresham, the story follows Stan Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a carny, and Dr. Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchette), a psychiatrist, as they team up to swindle wealthy carnival-goers. The ensemble cast is absolutely stacked, with fan favorites like Willem Dafoe, Toni Collette, Rooney Mara, Ron Perlman, Richard Jenkins, David Strathairn, Michael Shannon, Mary Steenburgen, and so many more. Whether you\u2019re a huge fan of del Toro\u2019s oeuvre, love a good period piece set at a carnival, or can\u2019t get enough of any kind of psychological thriller, this movie is sure to wow. Get ahead of the buzz by reading the novel before the movie is released in theaters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><em>Station Eleven<\/em>, December, HBO Max<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Warning: this one will hit close to home, for well . . . basically everyone. Why? Based on Emily St. John Mandel\u2019s 2014 novel of the same name, <em>Station Eleven<\/em> is a timely read about the struggle to survive (and find meaning in) a global pandemic that leads to civilization\u2019s collapse. It flashes back and forth in time, showing life before the pandemic, the initial moments the flu-like illness first hits, as well as 20 years later as a nomadic acting troupe crisscrosses the great lakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not all doom and gloom, with showrunner Patrick Sommerville describing it as a \u201cpost-apocalyptic story about joy.\u201d Expect some changes between book and movie as some roles have been expanded or shifted to better fit the narrative arch of a limited series. If you pick this for your book club, wow with this fascinating tidbit of trivia: the show was actually on a short hiatus after filming the first few episodes when art and reality collided in March of 2020.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See a title we missed?
