Writers of Color Book Club discussion

For the month of August, we will be doing our theme nominations differently.

Each member will have until Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at Midnight EST to nominate a theme and the theme that is seconded the most will be the one which gets chosen. After that, members can offer up books under that theme until Friday, July 24 at Midnight EST to second the book to move on until the final round. Finally, we will do our normal poll and the book that is chosen by majority rule will be our pick for August.

I nominate the theme of magical realism for August.
