For The Book Girl's Book Club I picked Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi, I thought it would be a good read. It seemed interesting and although it was published in 2013, I don't recall ever hearing about it which was one of the reasons why I selected it. I think it's good to read as many books and from different authors as possible.
For the Comic Book Club, I thought we could read Betty & Veronica: Shopping Spree! it has a collection of stories centering on Betty and Veronica's love of shopping. Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge are two of my favorite characters and I'm sure this will be a fun read. And for the Star Wars Book Club, I found the comic Star Wars: Rebel Heist by Matt Kindt and Marco Castiello. The funny thing is this book was originally published by Dark Horse Comics (which is the edition I have) but since Disney owns Stars Wars this book is now published by Marvel. It's also no longer considered canon but I figure it would still be a good read.
The Book Girl's Book Club Pick:
Book: Ghana Must Go by Taiye Selasi
Description:
A renowned surgeon and failed husband, Kweku Sai dies suddenly at dawn outside his home in suburban Accra. The news of his death sends a ripple around the world, bringing together the family he abandoned years before. Moving with great elegance through time and place, Ghana Must Go charts their circuitous journey to one another and, along the way, teaches us that the truths we speak can heal the wounds we hide.
Electric, exhilarating and beautifully crafted, Ghana Must Go is at once a portrait of a modern family and a testament to the transformative power of unconditional love, from a debut novelist of extraordinary talent, Taiye Selasi.
