October LS meeting

The Lower School Club met Friday, October 15.  We discussed The Merchant of Death by D.J. MacHale.  Only one person was almost injured during the discussion, but everything turned out fine. (We were getting animated while talking about the action in the book, and we may have had too many doughnuts and chocolate chip cookies!) We had already picked Anthony Horowitz's Stormbreaker for next month, but in addition to that, we decided to read the new Rick Riordan book, The Lost Hero. When we start a book in a series, members can choose to continue the series on their own, or not.

We also talked about what we like and don't like about audiobooks.  The voice can add to or detract from the experience, particularly when the reader has to mimic different genders, ages, and accents.
