Speculative Fiction Reading Group: A Wizard of Earthsea

I am once more working with ScribLab, this time bringing something a little different - a reading group!  You can sign up here and I have copied the details below . If well attended, I will be doing more of these reading groups in the future. The Speculative Fiction Reading Group is led by Aurora Hurd and is open to all - those brand new to the speculative fiction umbrella of genres and those who are long-time readers/writers.

The group will explore classics of speculative fiction as well as the current boom in works by diverse authors. To prepare for each meeting: Read the book of the month.
