August Book

I hope you got to enjoy last month's book, Cinder, by Marissa Meyer. I fell in love with it and had to immediately continue on with the next in the four-part series. This month we will be reading Scarlet, which is part two of the Lunar Chronicles.  The end of July was crazy so I wasn't able to plan a meeting, but it will be fun to meet at the end of this month and discuss both books.

Here is a synopsis of the book.  If you haven't finished Cinder yet, then try to resist the urge to read on (I know that I never can):

"Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner."

July Book

Sorry for such late notice about this month's book for Book Club.  I hope you are all enjoying a fabulous summer break and have been as crazy busy as I have!  The book for July is one that I am currently enjoying listening to: Cinder by Marissa Meyer.  Here is a synopsis to enjoy.

"Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth’s fate hinges on one girl.

Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She’s a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister’s illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai’s, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world’s future."
