EVERYONE Has Read This but Me - The Catch-Up Book Club discussion

This is the Pre-Read thread for the December 2022 Modern selection. This month we will be reading Kindred by Octavia E. Butler.

Please note that this is a SPOILER FREE discussion.

Who's planning to join in on this read? Why did you choose this particular book? Any expectations?

I read it a few years ago. It was a good book, but not pretty. A will probably read it again. I do recommend it.

planning to join as this is one of the classics that is recommended from all sides all the time. i dont have any idea what it is about (i am german so i really never heard of it before my streak now of hearing about it everywhere) and will be going into this absolutely clueless ;-)

oh my, i wanted to post rhis regarding the bell jar, sorry! but i will join in here as well as i really like octavia e. butlers books so far :)

I just put this on hold at my library. Hoping to join the read when I can!

I read this selection a while back. I hope everyone who reads it enjoys it.

I just started it last night and am hooked!!

I read this novel awhile ago, but it really sticks with you. It’s a great read.

Just picked up my copy. I’m excited to be reading, as I recently spread my wings into Science Fiction and discovered I love the genre. I know nothing about the storyline and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

I have heard many good things about this book and have always wanted to read something by this author, so really excited to join in this month!

I just finished. Loved the book. Glad it was a monthly read or I would not have found it.

I plan to join this one. I hope to pick up a copy this week. I'd actually never heard of this book until it was nominated a few months ago. It sounds like an interesting premise, and I'm glad it won the vote this time.

I just finished! wow, what a great read. it was not in my radar until this discussion. I want to read more by this author for sure
