THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY by Alix E. Harrow

MOVED TO MAY 16, 2021. AGENDA:

1. Short introductions (name, pronouns, one thing you liked about the book)
2. Discussion of THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY
3. Deciding on July title*

THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY was nominated for a Nebula Award in 2019 and a Hugo Award, a Locus Award, and a World Fantasy Award in 2020. Its audio version was nominated for two Audie Awards in 2020, as well.

"In a sprawling mansion filled with peculiar treasures, January Scaller is a curiosity herself. As the ward of the wealthy Mr. Locke, she feels little different from the artifacts that decorate the halls: carefully maintained, largely ignored, and utterly out of place.

Then she finds a strange book. A book that carries the scent of other worlds, and tells a tale of secret doors, of love, adventure and danger. Each page turn reveals impossible truths about the world and January discovers a story increasingly entwined with her own."

THE TEN THOUSAND DOORS OF JANUARY is available for purchase through WritersBlockBookstore.com (USPS ship-to-home, curbside pickup, ebook download through My Must Reads, or audiobook download through Libro.fm). You can also borrow it from the Orange County Public Library System as a physical book via grab-and-go or home delivery, or as an ebook or audiobook download through the Overdrive and Libby apps. If you have any questions about how to obtain the book through these means, please comment on the event or DM host Shelby Bouck.

*Feel free to suggest a book from any genre for July! It should be published for an adult or young adult audience and be one continuous work, i.e. not a collection of short stories, essays, or poems.
