Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer

Robert Allen was the coordinator. 8 people attended: Robert Allen, Jamar Muslar, Brad Kviten, Wendy Darling, Ed Stewart, DeVon Green, Leah Frey, Erin Stanfill

We went over these items:

• June’s book is Hild by Nicola Griffith

Book discussion recap:
Basically, everyone who read the book enjoyed it. A couple of people did not read it but watched the movie instead, so they did not give a rating to the book. We did discuss the differences between the movie and the book. There was a pervading wish that we had learned more about the backstory. Perhaps it’s revealed in the later books? It was a short book and easy to read.
