Jellicoe Road makes for a GREAT discussion book! Awesome choice! That novel is just begging to be dissected!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet to Laini's books - there is so much that it would make for a very long unit for a book group.
Agree, especially about Jellicoe Road! There's just so much to talk about on Jellicoe Road!
