Hey Blind Book people,

So, I guess the most important thing to know is that the book for October (the month after next) will be Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan, and if that title sounds vaguely familiar (hopefully not too familiar as this is the blind book club), it's because as you may recall I'm trying out a new variant of the book picking system using the "Most Read" books on Amazon -- Amazon spies on people and determines whether people are actually reading and getting all the way through the books and so I was curious whether these books really are more engaging. The downside is that there's a lot of overlap with bestsellers which increases the odds you've heard of the book. *I* haven't heard of this book so I went ahead and picked it. And it should be widely available at libraries and bookstores and everywhere you get books -- the last two books were only available on Amazon and we've had three now (I think) like that, and it's a problem with using Amazon to pick books -- it's fun to go off the beaten path but Amazon's selection is so huge it's easy to go so far off the beaten path that the books aren't available anywhere else.

Anyway, because we (still) haven't finished War On Sound by Christopher Harris, we're going to tack in on to some future meeting so if you haven't finished it you shouldn't let that discourage you from reading it. It's one of those books that's hard to read fast.

Anyway, for *next* month, we're going to take it easy and do Tokyo Ghoul Vol. 1 by Sui Ishida, which is a manga that you can read in an hour. It came up back when we read Naruto and I got curious about it, and since I completely flubbed picking a book properly for September (because my life was just too busy, with the 6-day eclipse trip to Wyoming and everything), we would otherwise be skipping September entirely, so I decided to slot this one in.

Also, this will be our last meeting at Sunken Gardens Park. For October, we're going to be finding an indoor location. The park has been really nice -- we don't have to talk over noise or be super-quiet. As long as the weather is good, it seems like the way to go. But... winter is coming, so we have to switch it up. So, to sum up what you've just read:

Book for September (September 23): Tokyo Ghoul Vol 1 by Sui Ishida

Book for October (October 28): Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan
