Lower School Book Club

It's amazing how much the LS book club reads this year--I have trouble keeping up with you guys!  We finished The Alchemyst by Michael Dylan Scott and talked about it today.  Most members who haven't already done so are planning to read the next two books in this series (there are three out of six projected books published so far).  Several people followed up last month's book by Cinda Williams Chima, The Warrior Heir, by reading the sequels The Wizard Heir and The Dragon Heir.  (Last month, we agreed to choose one book in a series and then move on to another author or series for our meetings, but anyone who wants to continue a series can do that and a lot of people will.)

We picked two titles to read over the Christmas holidays:  The Color of Magic by Terry Pratchett, which will introduce us to the world of 'speculative fiction,' and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.  The US book club read The Hunger Games earlier this year, and The Color of Magic is the first book in a whole collection of books involving Discworld, "where it all begins."  Happy reading for the holidays!  We'll meet again on January 22.
