Second Acts: Books for Women Over Fifty

Second Acts is a book club for women who are past fifty and nowhere near done.

Each month we read one novel about a woman in the second half of life: long marriages, grown children, empty nests, new work, old friends, second chances. Most picks are by other authors. Now and then I put one of my own books on the list, and I always say so.

How it works

• A new book on the first of each month.
• Discussion questions go up on the message board in the middle of the month. Join in whenever you like. No video calls, no deadlines.
• Suggest books for future months in Books We Want to Read.

House rules: be kind, mark your spoilers, and please don't promote your own books in the threads.

I'm Ada Nord. I write wry, warm novels about women over fifty, including No Filter and The Night the Bridges Rose.
