Welcome Chris.

If you're looking for some recommendations there are already a few past threads with some great stuff. Alternatively you can start your own thread and provide a bit more detail on what kinds of books you're looking to read.

Welcome Billy

I binged all of Paper Girls and really enjoyed it. I hope they do a second season.

August? Already? What will you be reading this month?

Welcome Christian

Thanks Dave. It was on my agenda today (along with the newsletter) but I was building a new PC today and it ended up taking up all of my time..

You can join the discord here: https://discord.gg/e2YUWzz

If that's what you mean. There is a channel group for Local Meetups with a channel for Atlanta below

I think lately they've been coordinating their meetups on discord instead of here in the forums. If I recall they have a new meetup coming up this weekend, but I forget the details.

Welcome to the forums Carlzog

Our July pick will be Hunt the Stars by Jessie Mihalik.

Let us know what you think about this pick.

I'm considering dropping the monthly updates from both this thread and the newsletter. What does everyone think? Do people find them interesting?

Ah true..I'm thinking 6 is half of 12, but that would require completing the 6...

Halfway through 2022. How will you be kicking off the second half?

We're 5/12ths through 2022. How will you be kicking off the last 7/12ths?

Thanks Dave. I wasn't sure what I was going to do since this is such an unusual month.

Yeah. I've only done 1 intro. It should be obvious which that is.

I have no good ideas for those. The one I made was loosely based on something Veronica said to me when we were talking about them adding user intros to the podcast.

FWIW, That's not me doing that podcast intro
