Let's read some magical realism! Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao is the buzzy new release that already has readers raving about the lyrical prose, dreamlike atmosphere, and characters who jump off the page.

The premise: On a backstreet in Tokyo lies a pawnshop, but not everyone can find it. Most will see a cozy ramen restaurant. And only the chosen ones—those who are lost—will find a place to pawn their life choices and deepest regrets.

The discussion: Many of us are writers so the discussion may have some emphasis on narrative strategy and character development, but it can also be as simple as what we liked and didn't like. Why did the pages turn so easy? What didn't we like about it?

This is all super casual. It's even okay if you don't read the whole thing! It's mostly about hanging out, yummy food, and talkin' books.
