Mithlond Books for 2010

So, the Sunday before Christmas our book group, Mithlond (officially a Discussion Group of the Mythopoeic Society) got together for our annual pick-more-books meeting. We had a good turn out and an enjoyable discussion, and even had a first-time attendee who we hope will join us as a new member. Over tea and a variety of snacks we picked books to read at our monthly meetings throughout the new year. We may swap around some titles as the year goes on, but given last year's example* we probably will get to most if not all of these in 2010. So here's the list:

January: THE GRAVEYARD BOOK by Neil Gaiman

February: PRINCE CASPIAN movie

March: THE LIGHTNING THIEF by Rick Riordan

April: PARADISE LOST by John Milton

May: TALES OF THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR by Katherine Kurtz et al

June: THE SUMMER TREE by Guy Gavriel Kay

July/August: summer break

September: WICKED by Gregory Maguire

October: ERAGON by Christopher Paolini

November: The Tale of Beren & Luthien; The Tale of Turin (from THE SILMARILLION)

December: pick books for 2011.

We meet the third Sunday of every month, so if you find yourself in the Seattle area let me know if you'd like to join in the fun.
