Bonus Book of the Month: ‘The Last Unicorn’ by Peter S. Beagle
Maude Garrett and the MBC community love our BONUS BOOKS!
Not only do we continue reading a series we enjoyed, but we also test the waters for other acclaimed novels. The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle has been on everyone’s TBR for a while.
Since it has been dubbed one of the best fantasy novels of all time, we needed to add it to our yearly list. Whether you’re new to our book club or have been with us for a while, you know how much we love finding a new series!
Book of the Month: ‘Somewhere Beyond The Sea’ by TJ Klune
Since then, the staff and community have picked up one of his books. We have all enjoyed his writing, and now we have decided to read Somewhere Beyond the Sea for our NOVEMBER BOOK OF THE MONTH!
Some of the books we start at MBC continue to be read as bonus books throughout the year!
For those who have read The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, or Somewhere Beyond the Sea on their TBR, come and join us this month as we read it together!
Bonus Book of the Month: ‘A Court of Mist and Fury’ by Sarah J. Maas
If you know Maude Garrett, you know she has read the ACOTAR series from beginning to end four times over.
We read A Court of Thorns and Roses to kickstart the year. When the community loves a series, we continue to read them for book club as our BONUS BOOKS.
For October, we have chosen the second novel in the ACOTAR series, A Court of Mist and Fury. We want to hear your thoughts, if you’re Team Rhysand or Team Tamlin! Come
Book of the Month: ‘NOS4A2’ BY Joe Hill
The BOOK OF THE MONTH is NOS4A2 by Joe Hill.
In case you didn’t know, Joe Hill is the son of “Horror King” Stephen King.
Since I do cheat a bit when reading a chonky book for book club, the first couple of chapters have given me the same feeling when I read The Shining for the first time.
Book of the Month: ‘The Butcher’s Masquerade’ BY mATT diNNIMAN
Maude Garrett has had The Butcher’s Masquerade by Matt Dinniman. If you’ve been with Maude’s Book Club, then you know we’ve been deeply invested in Matt Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl series!
If you’re a gamer and enjoy LitRPG, come and join us for the BOOK OF THE MONTH!
If Maude loves a series and our community enjoys it too, we always continue to dedicate a month to some of our favourites!
Bonus Book of the Month Preview: ‘Death Masks’ by Jim Butcher
Over the years, Maude Garrett has been a fan of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Maude always kept a place for Butcher in our book club because she loved the author.
Death Masks by Jim Butcher is our BONUS BOOK for August! We could not be more excited to dive into a fantasy book with some mystery.
The MBC community always has fun discussions in our discord and an in-depth analysis during our live book chat on Twitch!
Book of the Month: ‘The Fifth Season’ by N.K. Jemison
Maude Garrett has had The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin on her TBR for a very long time. The Broken Earth series is regarded as one of the best series in the fantasy genre. So, of course, we would cover it for our BOOK OF THE MONTH!
If Maude loves a series and our community enjoys it too, we always continue to dedicate a month to some of our favourites!
If you have been waiting for a good time to read The Fifth Season, join us in August for book club.
Book of the Month: ‘Mirrored Heavens’ by Rebecca Roanhorse
Maude Garrett has been on the Rebecca Roanhorse train for a while and last year the community enjoyed Fevered Star. MBC has waited for the cover reveal of Mirrored Heavens and now we will continue the series for our Book Club in July!
If Maude loves a series and our community enjoys it too, we always continue to dedicate a month to some of our favourites!
Bonus Book of the Month Preview: ‘Recursion’ by Blake Crouch
Maude Garrett has been such a fan of Blake Crouch and has inspired many of our community members to read his novels. He is one of the sci-fi greats and for July we will be reading Recursion.
After reading Dark Matter, which is now a series on Apple TV Plus, you will want to read everything he has ever written. Crouch can break down complex ideas and have them toy with your reality. It’s brilliant writing, and Maude is thrilled to bring the world of Crouch to our book club.
Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Under the Whispering Door’ by TJ Klune
We have all enjoyed his writing, and now we have decided to read Under the Whispering Door as a light bonus book for June. The term “light” is used loosely because Klune has a way of making everyone emotional.
For those who have read The House in the Cerulean Sea or have Under the Whispering Door on their TBR come and join us this month as we read it together!
Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Ruthless Vows’ by Rebecca Ross
Earlier this year MBC chose to read Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross in February!
The story between Iris Winnow and Roman Kitt placed our readers in a trance. The love letters expressing their innermost thoughts and feelings were magical.
Book of the Month Preview: ‘The Way of Kings’ by Brandon Sanderson
Maude Garrett has been such a fan of Brandon Sanderson over the years. MBC has even covered the Mistborn trilogy in the past. Sanderson has such a strong wit and writes his adventures beautifully. They are fully formed characters with motivations and more importantly dreams. They all overcome obstacles that help improve their perspective about themselves and how they live.
