As some of you will have seen on social media, and now on the MOTD, we’re starting a book club!

The plan is to read the same book together, with a new book each month. For a period of about 2 or 3 weeks, we’ll discuss the book we’ve just read. This does mean that one discussion will overlap the reading of the new book.

After polling people on themes, we’re narrowed it down to Mixed Bag: Sci-fi & Fantasy so we’ll alternate between the two each month.

I’m collecting a list of possible books in both genres. If you have a favourite, or one you’d love to read and haven’t, please reply and suggest it. All I ask is that they are appropriate for out 13+ rating and if it’s a series, it’s the first book.

Looking forward to this!

I have a few ideas! :)

“Mortal Engines” by Phillip Reeve (Its the first of a series of 4. A movie is also coming out in December for it directed by Peter Jackson)
“Dreamlander” by KM Weiland
Anything by Stephen Lawhead

Now, I know that Fantasy has a lot of specific sub-genres and probably one of my favorite authors (K.M. Weiland) tries to touch on some of those subgenres.

“Storming” which is a dieselpunk novel (think fantasical aviatior story in the 1920s)
“Wayfarer” which is a gaslamp fantasy (comes out some time this year)
And she’s also working on a sequel to “Dreamlander” that looks like it could come out next year maybe?

Just some ideas! Looking forward to what’s in store!
