June Book discussion and July book club

[writerlibrarian]

A reminder that the June Book discussion of Good Omens by Terry  Pratchett and Neil Gaiman will start on June 25th. All individual reviews, comments, discussions (we hope) will be on that post.

The post will have questions, themes and such.  If you already have themes or ideas about question, please do post them here, it will only add to the discussion, review and comments.


July Book club

We want to do thematic or genre books for some of the months along with a common book month.

July is a thematic month.

We have two themes to choose from and titles for that theme. All titles might be read. The fun of a thematic month is to discover new titles or new authors, get discussion going on the theme.

I've tried to hit a balance between men and women authors, if you know of other women swedish writers I'm interested. : )

I'm thinking voting until the 25th so that people can know what to pick up for next month.

If you have suggestions for next month genre, please do send me a message or comment here.
