Thanks so much to everyone who showed up at the meeting yesterday - it was a great turnout and a fun discussion!
We want to get the ball rolling to pick our October selection! The tradition at the Bookworms is to vote on a genre, then on a book and a meeting date/time. The poll for the genre is up right now and will close on Wednesday (Oct 3) at 11:59PM. After that, we'll post the polls for the book and the meeting date.
The genres suggested for this month are:
- Historical fiction - Books suggested at the meeting for this genre include The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10950924-the-dovekeepers) and The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2088385.The_Book_of_Negroes).
- New releases - Books suggested for this genre include The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13497818-the-casual-vacancy) and Room by Emma Donoghue (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7937843-room).
- Science fiction - Books suggested for this genre include The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11.The_Hitchhiker_s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy) and Dune by Frank Herbert (http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/234225.Dune).
If you have any other suggestions for any of these genres, please email us or leave them in the comments - if you don't make any suggestions, Steph and I have to choose them ourselves which is difficult for genres that we aren't very familiar with! We'll post any additional suggestions made under the "This Month's Meeting" tab, just in case it may influence your vote.
At the meeting, some members mentioned books that they had read that were enjoyable reads, and these have been added to our Recommended Reads tab. If you ever read a great novel, let us know so that we can share it with the other members!
Get your genre votes in by Wednesday at midnight, and we'll be well on our way to choosing a book for October!
