ATTENTION: We are now meeting in person again! Please follow current recommendations around mask usage to keep everyone safe. Masks are always welcome and accepted, no matter the current regulations. If you'd like to meet online check out our meeting on the first Wednesday of every month. It's that time again! Let's chit chat about the books we exchanged last time and welcome newcomers bringing their first book. If you've been before you know the deal, otherwise just bring a book to share and expect to say both a few words about it and why you want to share it.

May Meeting: Octavia Butler - Bloodchild and Other Stories

**Recommended Stories:** * Bloodchild * The Evening and the Morning and the Night * Speech Sounds Octavia Butler -- need we say more? Super excited for this one! **For First-Timers:** We recommend reading at least one story, but feel free to read as little or as much as you'd like! Discussion is open, informal, and we try to focus on the recommended stories listed above. **About Butler:** Octavia E. Butler (1947–2006) was a visionary "Grand Dame of Science Fiction" who broke barriers as the first sci-fi writer to receive a MacArthur "Genius" Grant. Rising from a working-class background in California, she became a master of "speculative fiction," using alien worlds and dystopian futures to explore visceral themes of power, racial hierarchy, and human survival. Her work is celebrated for its unflinching realism and its focus on marginalized protagonists who must make complex, often uncomfortable sacrifices to endure in a changing world.
