Jimmy Fallon is bringing his book club back for the summer.
The Tonight Show host is once again enlisting his viewers to pick a book that they will all read together. He announced the return of the club on his show on Monday, saying, “We’re right in the middle of beach reading season, and everyone’s looking for a good book.”
He then produced a stack of six books that fans will vote on, with the winner becoming the official Tonight Show Summer Reads title.
Competing for the honor are Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods, Rufi Thorpe’s Margo’s Got Money Troubles, Ruth Reichl’s The Paris Novel, David Nicholls’ You Are Here, Stuart Turton’s The Last Murder at the End of the World, and Stephen Graham Jones’ I Was a Teenage Slasher.
Readers can vote on the selection at Fallon’s book club website before midnight Pacific Time on July 24. The winner of the contest will be announced on the Tonight Show on Thursday.
Fallon’s last book club selection, also voted on by viewers, was Tracy Sierra’s Nightwatching. Past picks include Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow; Mary Beth Keane’s Ask Again, Yes; and Tomi Adeyemi’s Children of Blood and Bone.
