By a margin of only one vote, our September read-along will be The Sixth Extinction! Given the close vote though, you can bet that Bad Feminist will show back up on next month’s poll. We’ll have a google doc discussion and discussion questions for our The Sixth Extinction read-along. There will also be a twitter chat at the end if people are interested. In the meantime, feel free to chat on twitter using the hashtag #NFBookClub. I’ve included a linky for sign-ups below the schedule which is open through September 26th. If you decide to join in any time before then, please add your sign-up post there.
Google Doc Opens for Free Form Discussion – September 1
Ch 1-8 Discussion Questions Posted – September 10

Jancee @ Jancee's Reading Journal
Interesting choice! Looking forward to reading it!!
DoingDewey
Great! Me too 🙂

I didn’t get very far with Packing For Mars – maybe I’ll do better with this one. It’s more my kind of thing, so that’s helpful!
DoingDewey
I’m glad! I hope you end up enjoying this one more 🙂
TJ @MyBookStrings
I had to put Packing for Mars aside as well. Not that I didn’t enjoy it, it was just that real life interfered and I desperately needed a comfort read. I’m sure I will pick it up again at some point. But I am really looking forward to The Sixth Extinction!
DoingDewey
That happens! And I would definitely not describe Packing for Mars as a comfort a read! I hope things calm down for you next month 🙂
Lory @ Emerald City Book Review
This group is good for pushing me to read books that might not otherwise float to the top of my list. And it’s going to be a good follow-up to Packing for Mars, which to me ended up being about sustainability. Looking forward to another great discussion.
I do have to put in a plug for my suggestion that was outvoted (Is that a Fish in Your Ear?) — I just finished it and it was excellent. Anyone who is interested in language at all should definitely read it!
DoingDewey
I’ll add Is That A Fish In Your Ear to my to-read list on goodreads now 🙂 I hope this one ends up being just as fun a read as Packing For Mars! It’s definitely helping me keep up my momentum on nonfiction reading too.

This looks like so much fun! I’ve been looking for a good non-fiction bookclub!
DoingDewey
I’m glad you think so! I’m always looking for more nonfiction bloggers and I’m hoping to meet and interact with people more through these read-alongs 🙂
Kimberly
I’ve been wanting to read this one, so this book club read-along is a good excuse to start it – I’m in!
DoingDewey
Fantastic! I’ve been wanting to read this myself since it won the Pulitzer 🙂
