Book of the Month: ‘Fugitive Telemetry’ by Martha Wells
One of Maude Garrett’s favourite authors is Martha Wells. We have been reading the Murderbot Diaries for a while now, and Maude has even interviewed Wells herself.

The Goodreads Choice Awards 2024 Nominations
It’s almost the end of the year, and it has been a wonderful year because it has been filled with books. The Goodreads Choice Awards have begun, and their opening round is officially open for voting. They cover each genre, but here at MBC, our focus is fantasy and science fiction. Fortunately, those genres flourished this year because of some incredible new releases.

Chris Edgerly has a Kickstarter for the sequel to ‘Soldier of Ages’
Chris Edgerly returns with a sequel to Soldier of Ages titled, Soldier of Ages: Battle of the Bulge. The news went live this Monday that Edgerly would have a Kickstarter to help fund this new project.

Bonus Book of the Month: ‘The Last Unicorn’ by Peter S. Beagle
Maude Garrett and the MBC community love our BONUS BOOKS!
Not only do we continue reading a series we enjoyed, but we also test the waters for other acclaimed novels. The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle has been on everyone’s TBR for a while.
Since it has been dubbed one of the best fantasy novels of all time, we needed to add it to our yearly list. Whether you’re new to our book club or have been with us for a while, you know how much we love finding a new series!

Book of the Month: ‘Somewhere Beyond The Sea’ by TJ Klune
Since then, the staff and community have picked up one of his books. We have all enjoyed his writing, and now we have decided to read Somewhere Beyond the Sea for our NOVEMBER BOOK OF THE MONTH!
Some of the books we start at MBC continue to be read as bonus books throughout the year!
For those who have read The House in the Cerulean Sea, Under the Whispering Door, or Somewhere Beyond the Sea on their TBR, come and join us this month as we read it together!

If You Like ‘N0S4A2’ Add These To Your TBR!
Our BOOK OF THE MONTH was N0S4A2 by Joe Hill.
Maude Garrett isn’t a fan of horror. So we try to choose a spooky novel that has fantasy elements for October. Joe Hill has a different style than what we’re used to and he holds nothing back. The novel is dark, traumatic and sinister with a vampire who thinks he’s morally right with the decisions he makes for children.
If you have read N0S4A2 by Joe Hill, here are some books we recommend that are quite similar!

Which Second In Command fanart from ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
Rhysand’s seconds-in-command are two beauties who bite. Amren and Morrigan “Mor” keep everyone in line in the Night Court.
Mor and Amren have gone through so much and have persevered in the darkest times. They are the glue holding everyone together with Rhysand.

Which Archeron Sister Fanart From ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
The Archeron sisters have been interesting to follow the more Feyre interacts with them as a Fae. Nesta and Elain are vastly different, but they agree that remaining together is the best decision.
The sisters are all described beautifully in the book and the artistry in the fanart is nothing short of gorgeous.

Which BatBoys Fanart From ‘ACOTAR’ Is Your Favourite?
We LOVED A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, one of Maude Garrett’s favourite books.
The three characters who stood out in this sequel are the “BatBoys.” They are pure Night Court Royalty. If you’ve been a fan of Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel, the three combined are lethal.

Which Rhysand Fanart Is Your Favourite?
We LOVED A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas, one of Maude Garrett’s favourite books.
There is one character who stands above the rest and that is, of course, Rhysand. We have searched to collect fanart for the High Lord of the Night Court.

Q&A With Matt Dinniman Author Of The ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl Series
Since the start of Maude’s Book Club, Maude Garrett and the community have read the Dungeon Crawler Carl series.

Have you been a fan of the Dungeon Crawler LITRPG series? Then come and join us for this Q&A!

Bonus Book of the Month: ‘A Court of Mist and Fury’ by Sarah J. Maas
If you know Maude Garrett, you know she has read the ACOTAR series from beginning to end four times over.
We read A Court of Thorns and Roses to kickstart the year. When the community loves a series, we continue to read them for book club as our BONUS BOOKS.
For October, we have chosen the second novel in the ACOTAR series, A Court of Mist and Fury. We want to hear your thoughts, if you’re Team Rhysand or Team Tamlin! Come
