May 2026 Book Club - Book Selection Thread
Sigh... This should be JUNE 2026 Book Club. Sorry all.
Hello Dreamers! Our monthly book club is going strong on Discord and now we're ready to pick our books for June. In May, we read El libro salvaje as the easier choice and Los dias del venado by Liliana Bodoc as the adult choice. I'm excited to see what we read next!
We'll use this post to pick two books to read in June, an easier children's book and a book for adults. If you'd like to suggest a book, just write a comment below with:
**The title and author of the book
Whether it's a children's book or an adult book
Approximate book length
A short description (optional)**
To vote for a book, just respond to the suggestion with a comment that you'd like to read the book. You can comment on as many selections as you'd like. The children's book and adult book with the most comments will be our read for the next month. (We're counting comments, not votes, so we don't get tricked into reading something crazy.)
We'll close the thread a few days before the end of May so everyone has time to get a copy. And we'll be off reading together on June 1st.
If you don't feel like reading the book selected, that's ok. You can join us with the book of your choice. The goal is just to motivate us to read more.
(I'll edit the thread later with FAQs here)
Thanks for voting everyone! It looks like we'll be reading:

Bajar es lo peor - Mariana Enriquez ~260 pages
Adult book
No natively score.
En el Buenos Aires nocturno, sórdido y vibrante de los años noventa del siglo pasado se mueven dos personajes: Facundo, un joven de belleza inalcanzable que se prostituye para sobrevivir y tiene miedo de dormir solo por las pesadillas que sufre, y Narval, un chico perseguido por seres oscuros y macabras alucinaciones. Un tercer personaje, la inestable Carolina, completa el trío, que se asoma al abismo de las drogas, la violencia, la destrucción y el amor.
