Welcome to August 2022

[Shel, Moderator]

Happy August! In my family, that means lots of long lazy afternoons by our town pool. I usually take a quick dip to cool off and then sit in the sun with a good book.

Books of the Month - For August you selected:
-- August Science Fiction: Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald
-- August Fantasy: She Who Became the Sun by Shelley Parker-Chan

We also have our schedule set for the next two months:
-- September Science Fiction: Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky
-- September Fantasy: The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip
-- October Science Fiction: Upgrade by Blake Crouch
-- October Fantasy: The Tiger and the Wolf by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Series news: Our last discussion of the Uplift Saga is up with the final book Heaven's Reach. I know that several of you are still on the earlier books, so I'll remind you that discussions never close and you can chime in at any time! You can find our series folder here. Discussion threads will be moved to the series archive folder soon, because we will begin our next series, the Earthsea Cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin, in September!

The mods started a new routine this past month: a Question of the Week! We wanted a way for members to be able to participate in discussions even if they had not read the current books. Check out the recent QotW threads in the folder here.

Lastly, don't forget to stop by the What are you reading in August 2022? topic to share your reading picks, progress, and thoughts on any genre.

Happy reading!
