It's my favorite time of year - October! The weather over New England is cool and sunny and the leaves are just starting to turn. Let's see what's coming up for us this month.

There are a couple of starter topics up for each book, but please feel free to start more.

We also have our schedule set for the next couple of months:

Series news - We are two books in to our current series, The Dark Tower by Stephen King. The discussion for book two, The Drawing of the Three, is ongoing in the series folder, and we'll begin The Waste Lands on October 15th.

Lastly - Don't forget to check out the Question of the Week (a new one posts each Sunday), the new Quarterly challenge, and the “What are you reading in October 2025?” topic to share your picks, pans, and progress for the month! All genres welcome in this topic!
