Book Club December 13, 2024

Join Us for our next Book Club where Timm will host us in his newly renovated house and undoubtedly be serving us fried demon chicken. That’s right folks, our book for this month is Nettle & Bone, a fantasy book full of an odd fellowship of the ring style group of our main character Marra, a dustwife (witchy type), a fairy Godmother, an exiled knight and yes, a demon chicken, just in time for a happy holiday season. Let it snow as we see if this motley crew can take down the evil prince. A Hugo Award winner, hands-down vote winner in last month’s club, and a shorter read than usual, we hope this one is as much of a hit as it sounds like!
You’ll have time to bang this one out over Thanksgiving break and show up ready for Timmstravaganza in the newly remodeled pad!

Location Timm’s house:

7629 Nikau Dr.
Niwot, CO 80503

Your Picks are being brought by Jed – though thematically unclear, it is either “wolf” or “water”, so perhaps he is still drunk from his recent visit to the Great Wolf Lodge Water park in the Confederacy…?
