3/20/21 2-4 pm <br>
Zoom<br>
Middlegame by Seanan McGuire
Robert Allen was the coordinator. 4 people attended: Robert, Sophie, and Bil, Ed.
We went over these items:
<ol>Next meeting is April 17. The book is The Dark Beyond the Stars by Frank M. Robinson.<ol>
<b>Book discussion recap:</b>
What we liked:The main characters go on a journey, and we were invested in what happened to them. The antagonists were despicable people but we enjoyed reading about them. Liked the “magic” system. The sibling interactions seemed real --sometimes mad at each other and sometimes getting along.
What we disliked: The pacing.
<b>Verdict:</b> Thumbs up!
<b>May Book Nominations (winner in boldface):</b>
Note: Only two people at the meeting nominated books, so we asked others not at the meeting to submit nominations afterward.
The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin - Leah/Robert<br>
A Luminus Republic by Andres Barba - Ed<br>
Hero by Perry Moore - DeVon<br>
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood - Wendy<br>
Bestiary by K-Ming Chiang - Erin<br>
The Sunlight Pilgrims by Jenni Fagan - Ed
