35559 Jenny I have added all of these to my TBR. Thank you! I think my vote is for Once There Were Wolves. IF they don't pick it I will read it anyway.

35559 It is probably the last sunny Saturday in Vancouver for the year. I am excited to have my last book club BBQ. We are planning out what to read for the next few months. Does anyone have any suggestions for me I would appreciate it, we are an eclectic group and I am out of ideas.

Full disclosure - I'm not a huge sci-fi reader but I'm like 100 pages in and feel like I'm just treading water.

And also, I must confess..."


Dune is very dense and he is Tolkien like in his information dump. If you feel that way 100 pages in it might not be the book for you.

I also heard from my book club and we are reading a huge historical fiction book that fits for an 'E' for this round.

I have read the entire series plus most of the ones his son has written. In my opinion I would stop after books 3/4. After that everything drags a lot. Some of the later books are ok, most due to Kevin J. Anderson.
If you want something interesting and are into audio books there is this. I love it because I am a Dune fangirl. It is parts of Dune read by Frank Herbert. I know it is available on Audible.

Great job team!"


OOO Good idea. I should give it a re-read. I love the Dune series and completely forgot the movie was already out.

35559 Well I was planning on sleeping tonight but I guess the world had different ideas. Fire alarms are going off and we have evacuated. Heading to a coffee shop and will have some tea and shove my face in a book.

35559 Good morning. Just an update. After a very long labor the little gent arrived at about 6 this morning. I use the term little loosely as he was 9 pounds 4 oz. Mum and baby are great. I am going to go take a nap.

35559 I stayed up all last night and read a 900+ page book. I am currently in the hospital with a friend waiting on her baby to arrive. He is taking his sweet time and I am now reading her book 2.
