Book of the Month: ‘Fugitive Telemetry’ by Martha Wells
One of Maude Garrett’s favourite authors is Martha Wells. We have been reading the Murderbot Diaries for a while now, and Maude has even interviewed Wells herself.
The BOOK OF THE MONTH for December is Fugitive Telemetry—the sixth book of the Murderbot Diaries.
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!
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!
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.
Maude’s Book Club QNA with Andy Weir
The MBC community has chosen Artemis as the bonus book for April.
We are very fortunate that Andy Weir will join us for a QnA this month! If you’re a fan of his novels, come and discuss his sci-fi novels with us.
Book of the Month Preview: ‘Dark Age’ by Pierce Brown
Hey, Howlers!
Maude Garrett has been raving about Red Rising, and our book club members have loved the second book, Golden Son. Morning Star and Iron Gold have gotten some mixed feelings from our community. This April, we head back into the universe created by Pierce Brown with Dark Age, the fifth book in the series. It was a nominee for Best Science Fiction in 2019.
Join Maude’s Book Club!
We know that the internet can be a tough space to navigate and that’s why we want to create a safe space for everyone in the reading community to be able to discuss their favourite books with other bookworms.
Not only do community members interact with other book lovers and creator Maude Garrett, but Maude connects with the authors of the books directly so the community can also discuss the book with their favoruite authors.
