Time marches on and I keep failing to blog promptly! But, never fear, the book club still marches on and meets. We need you to join us! Lately meetings have seen only 2-3 members show up - we're not sure how long we can continue like that. If you like the books and think about coming, please just come! We are laid back and low pressure. Sometimes some of us don't read the book. And we will bring cookies!
Anyway, I didn't get a chance to blog about Tamai Kobayashi's Prairie Ostrich. It's one of those books that's not only good, not only gripping and a page-turner, but it feels like it's changing your life and worldview as you read and you are seriously almost traumatized when it's over. You MUST read!
Malinda Lo's The Huntress was good and definitely a page-turner as well. Not life changing though. One of the things we really enjoyed was the matter-of-factness of same-sex relationships in this fantasy world. It felt good!
We've selected a few titles for the coming months - June's title is Rae Spoon's First Spring Grass Fire. A couple of members had the pleasure of seeing Rae Spoon at the Gender Failure show with Ivan Coyote last month. Great show. July we're reading Awakening to Sunlight by Lindsay Stone. August's selection is Bottle Rocket Hearts by Zoe Whittall. We loved her Holding Still for As Long As Possible, so decided to read another. Another repeat author is Naomi Alderman. Can't wait to read The Liar's Gospel in September. And for October, Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour.
