Books I Read Alone, Issue #1

The first issue of Books I Read Alone is ready to go! The distinction from my Dinner Book Club zine is that I read these books on my own, without a yummy meal to fill my tummy. I think there are some books that aren’t meant to be consumed in a group. The reasons vary but it could be because they’re too emotional (Stay True) or they’re too slow (Chaos). In the case of Stay True, I’d also say that it hits different depending on how old you were in the 90’s. I know that sounds like Gen X gatekeeping but the nostalgia was intense and I don’t know if I could have read this book with my (slightly) younger Book Club mates. Would they even understand the public dislike and secret love for Pearl Jam?? Better not to risk it. ;)

Stamps are being licked as we speak! Expect to see them in your mailbox shortly.
