By Jason Boog 

flashlightworthy.pngCounting on our readers’ collective knowledge of books, GalleyCat Reviews will share (and help expand) curated book lists from Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations. The regular feature launches today as we ponder a list of 10 Great Books for Mother-Daughter Book Clubs.

Over the last year, Flashlight Worthy Book Recommendations has created more than 300 lists–giving reading advice on everything from book club books to cancer survivor books. Working with this carefully curated publication, we will share our favorite lists with GalleyCat readers. In the comments section, you can add your favorite books and help the lists grow. We begin with book club books, one of our favorite topics.

Here’s more about the Mother-Daughter Book Clubs list: “This list is particularly created for moms and their kindergarten through high school daughters. Whether you are one mom reading a book with your daughter or a group of moms and daughters reading and discussing together in a book club (what fun!), the books listed here provide plenty of opportunities to discuss the minor and major choices we all face in life.”

The list follows, after the jump. Add your thoughts and books in the comments.
