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

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

just realised that this is available as an eBook from my local library via the Borrowbox app, so I'm in

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?

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.

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?

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.
