BOOK CLUB SEASON 3:

Today we wrapped up Ice Planet Barbarians and overall its been a positive experience and a nice break after 11/22/63.

Books in the running today:

• Station Eleven by Emily St. John-Mandel
• Project Hail Mary by Andy Weird
• Manacled - Fanfic
• Last Days by Adam Neville

After rolling a D4 we landed on 1. Station Eleven by Emily St. John-Mandel

The book is broken down into Sections and chapters. Chapters are very short, so the group has decided to do it as 1 section per week. 9 sections total. We may go to 2 sections a week depending on how it goes.

Happy reading.
