What Silent Book Club is Reading: October 2020

What Silent Book Club is Reading: October 2020

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:

  • Daughter of Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan

  • Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan

  • Motherfoclóir: Dispatches from a Not So Dead Language by Darach Ó Séaghdha

  • The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

  • The Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler

  • Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman

  • Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward

  • Zucked: Waking Up to the Facebook Catastrophe by Roger McNamee

  • Fighters of Fear: Occult Detective Stories by Mike Ashley

  • Operation Barbarossa and Germany's Defeat in the East by David Stahel

  • Agents of Dreamland by Caitlin R. Kiernan

  • I’ll Be the One by Lyla Lee

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.)
