We've been going through unprecedented trials (a polite way to say "hell") but hopefully we're coming out the other side in the fall. So I suggest the archetypal journey as a theme.
As recommended before I really support the magic realism entry. Well written and serious books with alternate views of life have always made a difference in my life.
Hi Teresa, for the summer bookies theme, what about books portraying marginalized groups /people? This could include immigrants, minorities, the elderly, and those with disabilities. It doesn’t have to be heavy: The Road To Tender Hearts has older folks and orphans, yet it’s hilarious. Thanks, Peggy Farren (Quincy, MA)
Sci-fi, please 😁

Hi Theresa!
I suggest "tales of Resistance."
Thank you for this brilliant book club.

I'd love to see Historical Fiction as a theme for books (as opposed to Hysterical)

I couldn’t remember if this has been done before, but it’s currently a theme in my life: Forgiveness and Redemption. Thanks for everything you do!
Dear Teresa,
Pure escapism. We need it in our lives right now. Science fiction, fantasy, romance--broad category but somewhere we can rest for a while.

Magical realism as a summer bookie theme. I think we could all use a little wonder right now.
I’m happy you suggested this. I agree and will post my own recommendation.
Hi Teresa, I’d like to suggest
The Great Outdoors as a summer bookies theme.
Thanks,
Cynthia Sommer
Hey, Cynthia! That's what I was going to say! Or Saving the Great Outdoors
Great minds ...
