If you're looking for suggestions for future books, I've just had my novel Radium Baby published and I can arrange free copies for the Hubski book club. It's a comedy/adventure novel set amid the prohibition, radium baths, and Egyptological excavations of 1927 — there are enough robots, giant hornets, and cannibal bishops to satisfy anyone!

I can arrange some promotional days on Amazon so people can download it for free. All the Hubskiyites are so generous, the least I can do is share it. Let me know if you're interested! It could also make for some spirited discussion with input from the author.

Regardless of whether or not the group chooses to read this for the "club," I'm definitely reading it and I look forward to discussing it with you. CONGRATS!! I love the cover, it's beautiful. Thank you for offering a "hubski download day," that is extremely generous of you.

As you know, I've ordered the paperback and expect it should be here in the next few days.

Huzzah! I should say that I'm up for the book club and really like the idea of reading St John's book.

Sounds like a great starting point to me. I think that it is a good tie in to the site obviously, and I've always enjoyed your short form writing. You got my vote.

My semester just ended and I would love to join the book club and read this. I might have to buy a physical copy though - not a fan of digital books (PDF's I can do for some reason).

Did you read it? If so, you can still jump in the discussion here. Hope you are enjoying being away from your studies for a bit :)

No and I'm so bummed. It sounded like a fun book from everyone comments. I tried buying it before I left for Australia, but I accidentally used my old credit card so the payment never went through. It was too late to get the free download when I realized my mistake :( I'll definitely be apart of the next one though.
