Flexible Book Exchange

Our first Gems Book Club featured story is #WitchcraftWednesday by the talented @bigfivedonaldduckfan ! It's a gripping and hilarious contemporary magical tale that you shouldn't miss :) 
          
          Check out the Gems recommendation: There's nothing I love so much as a unique story that breaks the mold of the overdone and cliché cookie-cutter tropes. For anyone who has similar taste regarding modern literature, I cannot recommend "Witchcraft Wednesday" by AJ enough! This book has it all: adventure, high stakes, unlikely friendships, villains not to be crossed, humor, and magic! 
          
           The characters are beautifully complex and flawed in ways that make you feel like they are real human beings. You see yourself in them, you feel their struggles, you find yourself rooting for them, and you can't help but ask yourself what you would do in their shoes. AJ's book makes you *feel* things — and isn't that the true mark of a great writer? This book is a fabulous hidden gem. Not to be missed!
          
          This story also made the Wattys shortlist for 2024! Show this fantastic tale some love and feel free to log your reading in the Gems Book Club for the chance to be one of the featured stories next month!

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to check out the Gems Book Club. The first reading period will begin on October 14 or 15th and run until November 15th. It's great to see a few familiar faces. If you're interested in joining, it would be great to see more people there.

We're hosting a new book club at FBE, the 'Gems Book Club'. It's more of a monthly reading club that features two books a month and allows us to support the stories of writers featured in 'Read These Gems' as well as the Gems club members. Members read and comment on however many chapters they can of the two books of the month and get entered in a draw to be featured the following month. 
           
          Feel free to check it out, and if you have the time to join we'd love to see you there. The deadlines will be offset with FBE, so you're welcome to join both (Gems will have a 15th deadline while FBE will remain 1st of the following month).
