What Silent Book Club is Reading: September 2020

[post contains affiliate link]

One of the things I look forward to every month is the Columbus, Ohio chapter of Silent Book Club meeting. Everyone brings their own book and reads together quietly for an hour, then we all nerd out about books afterward. If you're in the area, you should come hang out with us!

And, for the foreseeable future, you can hang out with us even if you’re not in the area since we’re meeting virtually! We meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm via Zoom.

Here's what folks are reading this month:

  • Vincent’s Books: Van Gogh and the Writers Who Inspired Him by Mariella Guzzoni

  • Home: New Arabic Poems

  • The Path of Daggers by Robert Jordan

  • The Complete Collection of Calvin and Hobbs by Bill Waterson

  • The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins

  • Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen by Marilyn Chin

  • The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave 

  • Things to Do When You’re Goth in the Country by Chavisa Woods

  • Get Well Soon: History’s Worst Plagues and the Heroes Who Fought Them by Jennifer Wright

  • The Beckoning Door by Mabel Seeley

  • Imaginary Friends by Nora Ephron

  • No One Ever Asked by Katie Ganshert 

If any of these sound good to you, please use my Bookshop link to buy your copy. It supports this blog and indie bookstores.

There are Silent Book Club chapters throughout and US and several around the world, so if you're not in Columbus, OH, check the events on the SBC website to find one near you. And regardless of where you are, we’d love for you to join us virtually. Event info will be posted in the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll connect meaningfully with book nerd communities online, including the Silent Book Club Facebook group. (Note: the general Silent Book Club Facebook group and the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group are two different groups.)
