Today Show Book Club Selections

NBC’s morning news and chat show created this book club to replace Oprah's when the popular daytime host switched rom promoting new books to recommending literary classics. In this club, one well-regarded author chooses the first work of another -- not necessarily well-known, but one worth reading -- and explains why you should read it.

In the list below, the most recent work selected for the Today Show Book Club is listed at the top. The rest of the titles are listed alphabetically by title. The number next to the author's name indicates the order in which the book was selected.

Listed below are winners, with catalog links provided to those titles owned by Jacksonville Public Library. Titles which are greyed out may be requested through InterLibrary Loan, or recommended for purchase.
