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!
If You Like ‘N0S4A2’ Add These To Your TBR!
Our BOOK OF THE MONTH was N0S4A2 by Joe Hill.
Maude Garrett isn’t a fan of horror. So we try to choose a spooky novel that has fantasy elements for October. Joe Hill has a different style than what we’re used to and he holds nothing back. The novel is dark, traumatic and sinister with a vampire who thinks he’s morally right with the decisions he makes for children.
If you have read N0S4A2 by Joe Hill, here are some books we recommend that are quite similar!

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.

Ranking Emily Henry’s Romance Novels
Maude Garrett has read every single Emily Henry novel and she has her ranking. Thankfully, because of Maude, I started reading her novels too. The list below is my ranking of the Henry romance novels because I devoured all of them.
Henry knows how to connect readers to her characters and use the best tropes to make you fall in love with them. Whether you end up loving or disliking one of her novels, it’s all about the journey to read them.
