November 2024 Celebrity Book Club Spoilers

Once again, I’ve rounded up the books that will be chosen as November 2024 book club picks by the Reese Witherspoon, Oprah, Read with Jenna, and GMA Book Clubs. These have NOT yet been officially released (as of now, they are all being announced on November 26 or December 3) but I am fairly confident in our intel.

While you are waiting to read these releases, I suggest using these spoilers to put in your library holds early and get to the front of the list. You can also check out the rest of the December 2024 new book releases.

December 2024 Reese Witherspoon Book Club Spoiler

City of night birds

Author: Juhea Kim

Genre: Fiction

Release Date: November 26, 2024

Natalia was one of the most celebrated dancers in the Russian ballet before an injury put her career on hold for two years. Now, she is returning to the ballet addicted to pills and alcohol to numb her pain. She’s been offered a roll she’s always coveted and she must decide whether she can rise to the challenge, and face her past and the people responsible for her highs and lows.

I found the story to be interesting but I didn’t love any of the characters. I respected Natalia’s drive and talent but found her to be cold and distant. Similarly, the two men she is interwoven between felt one-dimensional. That technical side and mental resilience it takes to be a ballerina were wonderful to read, however.

Avery and the Hawthorne brothers are back with an annual competition worth millions. It is the second annual Grandest Game in which seven people will receive golden tickets. Some of the competitors were chosen. by the Hawthorne brothers or Avery and the rest had to find their ticket. Every person there has a reason to win the game and they will all do whatever it takes.

The competition starts with the competitors participating in the most complex escape room. Who will make it out before dawn to go on to the next stage of the game?

I listened to the book and could not believe it was done. There are two reasons, one is that the story is far from over but the second is that I was so invested in the story. I cannot believe I have to wait until the next book comes out.
