Yes I know this is currently author a month didn‘t know that when I put out schedule in October of 2024
One of my most beloved Judy Blume moments with students happen when I read this book with or aloud to students of ALL AGES. They ADORE it. In my 36 years of volunteering at the public school I have never found this book in any school library.

Sorry for the late post on the vote for the next book! Two different types of books by two authors. Please let me know which book you would prefer to read for the September/October read of #OhCanada . Moon of the Crusted Snow is the first of two books (so far) and Three Day Road is the first in a trilogy.
Anyone welcome to join in this easy going book club where we explore different Canadian authors every two months.

@Cuilin and I had so much fun reading the entire Sherlock Holmes canon that we'd like to continue on with some pastiches! This will be an extremely relaxed group, reading a book maybe once a month or every other month. Once we see if anyone's interested, we'll have more info down the road.

I‘m not sure about this one. I tend to avoid short stories. I never like them. But maybe because they are connected I‘ll be okay. lol we are skipping White Sand. It‘s only short, but there‘s something about where it fits into the Cosmere. We will read it later. This reading order has worked so far, so I‘m going to trust it. #CosmereBuddyRead

The #ClassicLSFBC selection for August is Ursula LeGuin's The Left Hand of Darkness. I've read this not long ago, so I'll probably pass on the reread, but those who haven't read it are in for a treat.
September's choice is Galactic Pot Healer by Philip K. Dick. It was a tie between this and Software, so I flipped a coin and GPH won. Happy reading everyone!!

#KindredSpiritsBuddyRead So, I had talked about us reading the 400-ish-page-long novel-in-verse Aurora Leigh after we read Emily Climbs. Ultimately I decided I have enough on my plate and am not that ambitious right now. 😂 BUT, after seeing references to “The Alhambra“ in Emily of New Moon (+ LMM has talked about it in her journals), I thought that might be a fun one to add. Who's in?
