This month
- Book: *Police Your Planet* by Lester del Rey
- Rating: There was a range of 1-to-6 (out of 13) with an average of
3.25. In other words, not a popular book.
Next month, on February 2nd, 2024 we will:
- Discuss *The King of Elfland's Daughter* by Lord Dunsany
- Vote for three additional months of books, which will be suggested by:
- April: Liz Patton
- May: Shelly Thomas
- June: Dave Grubbs
I also promised to send my notes about what the group has read over the
past 9+ years and who suggested them. In the early days I only remember
which books *I* suggested. I started keeping track of other suggestions in
April 2021. If anyone can fill in any of the "???" for suggested, please
speak up.
I attached both a spreadsheet and a fixed-width ASCII text file with the
NESFA Reading Group book information.
