I am pleased to announce that a request made in jest has been granted in the form of the appointment of Nathan as First Tiger / Co-Moderator alongside Lincoln and myself. He’s been a great addition both within the group and behind the scenes for quite a while now, so it’s nice to finally make it official.



TIME TRAVEL BOOK CLUB
• OCTOBER: We will be reading the time travel romance Somewhere in Time by Richard Matheson Somewhere in Time by Richard Matheson. This one has a movie tie in starring Christopher Reeve. Part of Nathan’s initiation is to host this one for us. He says that, in his readings so far, the time traveler seems to border on being a stalker. I’m guessing this one should be interesting to discuss.

• NOVEMBER: We will be reading The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August by Claire North The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

•DECEMBER: We will finally be reading Replay by Ken Grimwood Replay which is a repeat read for many of us but well worth it. If you don’t already have it, you might want to go ahead and order it because it’s not available as an ebook.

•STARTING IN JANUARY we will begin tackling some short stories at a rate of 1 per week. We've changed our minds on which book we're going to be reading from, opting for one with more big-name science fiction authors contributing: The Time Traveler's Almanac by Ann VanderMeer The Time Traveler's Almanac. Stay tuned for more details.

GIVEAWAYS

•SEPTEMBER WINNERS:
Geoff Jones author of The Dinosaur Four by Geoff Jones The Dinosaur Four says: “For my favorite answer, I chose the following response from GARRETT: ‘Even vegan dinosaurs could be dangerous. When I was a teen, I helped out in my uncle's dairy farm. Some of those cows loved to kick and head butt. We took the risks very seriously.’ This mirrors a sentiment that I tackled in The Dinosaur Four. Plant eaters can be just as dangerous as meat eaters. They aren’t likely to cuddle up and feed from your hands. The other four winners, selected randomly (using a spreadsheet with a “random” function) are ELENA, KATHRYN, LINCOLN, and MICHELE. I hope you enjoy reading The Dinosaur Four and would love to hear any feedback you might have. Congrats and thanks to everyone for playing along!

•OCTOBER GIVEAWAY:
One Red Thread by Ernie Wood One Red Thread by Ernie Wood: http://www.tyrusbooks.com/debut-2/one...
When architect Eddy McBride, a fortysomething self-absorbed noticer of details and self-appointed seeker of truths, stumbles upon a way to visit, watch and ultimately participate in events from his family history, he finds answers to long-ago tragedies and mysteries. But each time Eddy returns to the present, he unleashes the unhappy consequences of exploring history on his family and friends. And as Eddy's knowledge of the past grows, he turns from curious seeker of truths to frantic fixer of mistakes--present, past and by those from the present who would change the past--as he follows a devastating trail of hurt, disappearance and death.
