Pauline Hubert explained the pick in an email to subscribers: “This month is a little different–it is our Member Pick of the Year. Now, while it is clear that The Help was the #1 book club pick of the year, and loved by so many book clubs, there is another book which seems to have taken book clubs by storm. I have never seen a book rise so quickly to the #1 club pick, especially as it was published only 10 weeks ago, and that mercurial rise is why I have selected ROOM by Emma Donoghue as our Member Pick of the Year.” (Via M.
