Literary Exploration discussion

September is an urban fantasy theme, so we need some book nominations. Let us know what book you are suggesting.

* can't nominate your own book
* only one nomination per person
* first 6-8 books will be chosen
* need to tell us why you are suggesting this book
* be respectful of other people's choices

suggestions can be found at https://www.goodreads.com/genres/urba...

I nominate Storm Front by Jim Butcher. It is the first book of the Harry Dresden Files. Harry Dresden is a consulting wizard for the police and helps them solve crimes committed by means of black magic. Sounds like a dark, fun read, that seems a reasonable length as well, coming in at around 300 pages.

I nominate Angelfall, the first book of the Penryn and the End of Days trilogy. Urban fantasy isn't really a genre I typically read, but it has been on my TBR a long time and it has great ratings.

nice choices so far

I'll nominate A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness.
From GR: "Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research."

To move things along I will nominate Yarrow by Charles de Lint, a "modern classic of urban myth and magic". Although it is part of the Ottowa and the Valley series all books can be read in any order as standalone novels.
