6. Troublesome Women...

I like the sound of that. A best-seller from last year, "Margaret never really meant to start a book club . . . or a feminist revolution." A "humorous, thought provoking, and nostalgic romp through one pivotal and tumultuous American year--as well as an ode to self-discovery, persistence, and the power of sisterhood."

I can only find one reference to the "Secret Book Society" and that's by Madeline Martin. Set in 1865 Victorian London about "a forbidden book club, dangerous secrets, and the women who dare to break free." That also sounds quite good and was just published last year.
