Sylvie’s comments from the Three Mugs Book Club group.

Ok folks, we have a two way tie - A Long Way to a Small Empty Planet or The Great Alone? Anyone care to break the tie by replying today?

from Jim: Declare by Tim Powers

Derek: Terror by Dan Simmons

Jim recommends: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky; Perdido Street Station by China Mieville

from Arthur: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah; a Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers; Volume Two of The Monstress

I found an interview in The Atlantic of author Marjorie Liu on Scribd. I just had to share this memorable quote on what it’s like to write comics:

“Ultimately, a comic writer is writing for the artist, and a script will not be read by anyone except whoever is behind the scenes. In the best moments, I think of my scripts as love letters to artists. I want to give them the best story possible so that they will have the best time possible drawing these things. It's not just their livelihoods; they also invest in your work creatively and emotionally.”

I'm reading Marjorie Liu on the Road to Making Monstress on Scribd. Check it out: https://www.scribd.com/article/358928829

Great picks so far! Keep it going! Hope you can join tonight at Three Mugs at 8 pm when we wrap up discussion on Monstress. We will take nominations through end of the day Wednesday and then we will vote until this Sunday, Dec. 1.

Nominations so far - The Dresden Files: Storm Front by Jim Butcher, The Palace Job by Patrick Weekes, and Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Others?

Don’t forget! Tuesday at 8 pm is our book club meeting on The November selection, Monstress. We will wrap up discussion on this beautiful graphic novel and decide on the next book. Nominations are now being accepted for December’s selection! What would you like to read?

Hi friends! How is your reading of Monstress going? If you'd like to discuss, we'll be at Three Mugs this Sunday at 5 pm. This is our optional mid month meeting.

All, the November votes are in and we selected the graphic novel Monstress by Marjorie Liu. There is an ebook copy in the Washington County Library ( Libby) and you can buy it for $4 on Kindle. I did not find it on Scribd. See you at the next meeting!

Hey all, it's a 3-way tie between Monstress, Gentleman in Moscow, and Hyperion! Let's give it one more day as not many have voted in this round. https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/9...

The Difference Engine by William Gibson and Robert Silverberg
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

Hey guys! 2 things - 1) please send or post to GoodReads your nominations for next time, and 2) does Tues Nov 26 work for you? We will also schedule a mid month meeting in about 2 weeks.

Hi everyone! We will gather at Three Mugs this coming Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 7 to talk about Crawdads. Please be thinking about the next book to nominate. :)

I'm working my way through this book...lyrical prose and some suspense. Talked about it with my stepmom and she felt it wasn't a believable plot. Do you agree?

Hey friends! looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday Oct. 1 for book club. We will finish discussing Snow Crash and begin discussing Where the Crawdads Sing, if there's time. How are you liking the new book so far? U'm enjoying how lean and spare the narration is. it feels to me like there is not a word in the book that doesn't serve some essential purpose.

The votes are in! Our next book, after we discuss Snow Crash Oct. 1, will be Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing.
