A new book club will begin this month geared to a special group of readers.
"Our new book club is called The Strange Worlds Society and it is a Speculative Fiction Book Club, explained book club founder Corinne Hughes.
Hughes continued, "The Strange Worlds Society Book Club is geared towards any and all adults who love science fiction, fantasy or horror books! The books we choose will be from one – or more – of these three genres. Anyone is welcome. It doesn't matter if you are a lifelong lover of speculative fiction or if you're just looking at getting into it."
The book club, geared towards readers ages 18 and above, will meet in person at Library Center of the Ozarks, on the second Thursday of the month. The club's first meeting is Thursday, March 13, beginning at 6 p.m.
"The first book we will be discussing is “Elder Race” by Adrian Tchaikovsky. This novella blends the fantasy and science fiction genres, which I thought would be perfect to start us off," Hughes noted.
Hughes, who currently serves as circulation supervisor for The Library Center of the Ozarks, shared why she decided to form the book club.
"My very favorite thing to do is read," said Hughes. "My second favorite thing to do is discuss books. I have always found that Speculative Fiction is at best underrepresented and at worst looked down on in the book clubs and discussions I have attended. I wanted to flip the script and create a book cub focusing on that genre, specifically – a genre that I love and know a lot of other people love, as well."
