Book of the Moment Every two months, a thread will be opened for the Book of the Moment. Everyone will have a month to read the book (or longer if necessary) and the discussion will begin the following month. Members can nominate books for future BotMs and will also have a chance to vote on which books gets chosen. We will be reading books from a variety of genres – hopefully, this means that there will be something for everyone! |

Firstly, we are sorry that we haven't updated this thread so far with the selection of books for August; we have been talking over how we aimed to end the "summer" as a book club. As a team, we know how crazy 2020 has been so far and how often we set our sights on a book and somehow, blinked and the whole month has passed us by with another, new book laid before you. There have been multiple reasons this year to explain why we have struggled to have as much accessibility to the books we have been reading, and I'm sure we don't need to explain any of these to you all. However, due to these and various other 2020 circumstances, we would like to issue a fun challenge to our members for the month of August. We, the Book Seeker moderators, challenge you to read one of our previous Book of the Month books that you haven't read yet. :goteam: If you have any questions, PM natekka, Harron Peasley or Stormdancer.
