What we’re about
The Sci Fi Book Club was founded in 2014 as a way to formally explore the genre of Science Fiction. With books ranging from classics to new releases and from novels to short stories, we aim for diversity in our selections.
Club members have one month to read the book the group has agreed on. We meet via Zoom on the third Sunday of each month to talk about our reading and all things Sci Fi. Our hope is that members will come ready to contribute to the conversation both in their thoughts on the given book and with any insight into related media that might inform our discussion.
Occassionally we will all decide to take some extra time on a book, but members should plan on four weeks to complete the reading. You do not have to have finished the book to come to the meeting. We hope to see you either way, there's always plenty to talk about.

Foreigner - C.J. Cherryh
•OnlineOnlineHi all!
New year, classic book selection! This one may be chronologically more contemporary, but it reads like some of the more classic literature we love. Part fish out of water, part political intrigue, Foreigner is a story about humanity and not being alone in the universe. The worldbuilding is as strong as the character development and storytelling. It can be a bit challenging at times, but I think you’re really going to enjoy this novel.
Book of the Month
Foreigner - C.J. Cherryh (1994)
Every Book A Doorway is even more enthusiastic about this story. Sia dives into the worldbuilding, the plot, and everything that makes it shine. I keep coming back to Foreigner for the writing style and the sense of hidden wheels turning just out of sight. There are things happening "off screen" and sometimes we catch a glimpse, other times we are left to wonder. It is a real page turner, good luck putting it down!
To join a Book Club meeting, all you will need is YOURSELF. If you haven’t had a chance to finish the book, we still would love for you to join us in the discussion.
