Choosing for October 2023

[Cheryl]

I'll make this fairly open again. Let's choose from the long list of books that have been mentioned, but not read, in the group. See this thread: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

Permafrost by Alastair Reynolds
A novella that I'm reading for another group: "Fix the past. Save the present. Stop the future. Alastair Reynolds unfolds a time-traveling climate fiction adventure...."

[Heather(Gibby)]

That one looks good Cheryl, and short enough to fit into my reading plans , so Ill second your nomination

[Cheryl]

Timeline, a modern classic by Michael Crichton, adventure/thriller, of course.

[Cheryl]

The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything by John D. MacDonald, because a member has asked for it twice. Looks short and fun, and is archived on openlibrary.org so availability isn't an issue.

"To ever-loyal Kirby Winter, multimillionaire Uncle Omar left nothing -- nothing but a gold watch and a sealed letter to be opened in one year. But Kirby is destined to inherit the magical power to freeze time in its tracks. Power like that promises unlimited wealth, wealth that can't buy love, but does make a down payment on a lot of deadly trouble. In a universe without time, can Kirby stay one step ahead?"

[Cheryl]

Anything else?

Thanks!

I've already read many of those and some aren't available at my libraries, but I am interested in 23 Minutes and The Little Shop of Found Things

Saturday, The Twelfth of October by Norma Fox Mazer

I read this years ago and loved it, think it would be great to read again with the group.

[Cheryl]

Ok, putting up the poll now.

Since it is for October, I decided to close it in only 10 days. Check the availability of the one(s) you're interested in and vote soon!

The Girl, the Gold Watch & Everything is the winner for October.

Harv, that was your nomination back in July, so I hope you're ready with a question or idea to get the discussion started.

It would be especially wonderful if you could talk me into giving it another chance; I see that I dnf'd it a few years ago.
