Simply Books! September Meeting

It’s that time again!  After a nice summer break, the Simply Books group got together this past weekend and had a two-hour long discussion.  Once you see the titles on the list, you’ll appreciate how much fascinating discussion fodder we had!

As ever, we had a nice mix of non-fiction and fiction to talk about.  The nonfiction topics included neuroscience, futurism, positivity, literary companion books, and transgender issues.  The fiction spanned contemporary and historical, character-based and plot-based, established authors and new favorites.

Without further ado, the September Simply Books! list.  Clicking on the cover image will take you to the Shelfari Page for the book.
