Ten books have been chosen by digital TV hosts Richard and Judy for their book club discussion list, 2009.
It is the sixth time they have done this, a move that has a dramatic impact on book sales in the UK. Labyrinth, by Kate Mosse, was chosen in 2006, and went on to become the all-time fastest selling paperback. Celia Ahern's PS, I Love You, unveiled in 2004, was turned into a film.
"The public faith in the Book Club is overwhelming, and I take that very seriously," said Amanda Ross, who heads the four-person team that chooses the books. "As consumer confidence dips with the credit crunch, we hope to help people not to waste their time or money."
