May 2019 marks the first month of NextChapter's book club! We chose our first book by inviting all members of the team (remote & HQ) to join a special slack dedicated to all things book club. After a passionate debate about which book to read by the book-lovers of NextChapter, we ultimately narrowed the list down to three books to choose from; The Tattooist of Auschwitz, A Man Called Ove, and The Great Alone. Janine posted the three books to slack and called for a vote! The vote was neck and neck but ultimately we decided on A Man Called Ove. 

 

In the spirit of NextChapter's inaugural book club, the entire team chose their top three Summer reads to share. From our bookshelf to yours, we hope these recommendations inspire you to read more this Summer! Without further ado; NextChapter's 2019 Summer Reading List
