In July we will be reading Beloved by Toni Morrison for our Sci-Fi & Fantasy category - who's in?


message 2: by Kimberly (new) - added it

Kimberly | 88 comments I'm in, but it depends on how quickly I can get it from my library.


Phil (lanark) | 656 comments just realised that this is available as an eBook from my local library via the Borrowbox app, so I'm in


Bucky Buchanan (from Saratoga) | 42 comments I got excited for a minute about adding Borrowbox as yet another online resource for library stuff, but alas, this is not available in my neck of woods.. is it mostly UK based?

Phil (lanark) | 656 comments Yes, Borrowbox is the app my UK library uses to lend ebooks and audiobooks remotely. Although, it's hit and miss as to whether the library has any particular book in their stock.


Bucky Buchanan (from Saratoga) | 42 comments Oh cool! Did not know that. For some reason I thought you were from Brooklyn or something :)

no that's Lanark not Newark ;o)

Phil - I see you already have Beloved on your favourites shelf, so I guess it's a re-read for you?


Mela (melabooks) | 97 comments Obviously, the way of storytelling was the most important part of the novel. Without it, it would have been another book about American slavery. The style helped me to feel it more.
