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.
Maude’s Book Club Questions For ‘The Poppy War’ by R.F. Kuang
We love having discussions at MBC! We tackled The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang in March! For those who love historical fiction and extensive lore that ties in with actual events, Kuang’s war fantasy novel is unlike anything you’ll ever read.
We thought it would be nice to share the questions we have prepared for our book club with all of you. That way, if you enjoy the thought-provoking questions that come with reading a book and going into detail, you’ll join us for next month’s pick!
Maude’s Book Club Questions For ‘Divine Rivals’ by Rebecca Ross
We love having discussions at MBC! Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross stole our hearts in February. For those who love to write and those who enjoy reading historical fiction, this fantasy romance is the perfect mixture for all readers.
Maude’s Book Club became engaged with the story between Iris and Kitt because of the development of their relationship. It is enemies-to-lovers and its beautifully written passages explore one’s true self through anonymity and vulnerability.
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.
Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Artemis’ by Andy Weir
Are you a fan of Andy Weir’s novels?
Well, if you are and in case you didn’t know MBC has read Project Hail Mary and The Martian for book club. The MBC community has chosen Artemis as the bonus book for April!
