October - December Book Club Picks
The final sprint through the ‘ber months of 2024 with our quarter four Eclectix the Book Club picks! The voting was close to narrowing down these month’s picks, but the book club members have spoken — let’s get ready to read the works of Delia Pitts, Maurice Carlos Ruffin, and Hanif Abdurraqib.
This year we will continue to tackle a new genre each month for the Eclectix the Book Club picks. The announcement of the monthly picks is shared quarterly, allowing you to decide which books you’re planning to read along with or get an early start on each of them to finish on time.
Remember to officially join the book club’s Discord server to converse with other book club members all year long, then head over to Bookshop.Org, Amazon, or your local bookstore/library to grab the monthly picks.
(You can also grab your copies for 20% off from Louisville, KY’s independent bookstore Foxing Books either in-store or online using code: ECLTX )
