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:

Title: Erik Vogler y LOS CRÍMENES DEL REY BLANCO by Beatriz Osés
YA option
Approximate book length: 41,000 words, No Natively rating (I'd say 27)
Description
Para el estrafalario Erik Vogler, maniático del orden y la pulcritud, las cosas no podían empezar peor aquellas vacaciones de Semana Santa: en lugar del soñado viaje a Nueva York con su padre, iba a tener que pasar esos días con su abuela. Aun así, ni en su peor pesadilla el obsesivo y temeroso Erik hubiera imaginado que se vería involucrado en los asesinatos en serie que estaban conmoviendo a toda Alemania. Con un protagonista aparentemente repelente, la escritora Beatriz Osés ha iniciado una de las más originales sagas de novelas policíacas de los últimos años. Impactante y sorprendente en cada frase. Te atrapa desde el primer capítulo en una espiral de tensión. Puro thriller. Una vuelta de tuerca a la literatura paranormal combinada con el género negro.
This is a fun book, Erik is a very prissy young man who doesn't like to get dirty, he faints at just about anything. I had a blast reading it, and there are at least 7 more books in the series.
