The Catholic Book Club discussion

Our winner this month, and our May BOTM is Comet Dust, by C.D. Verhoff.

Of the three books that didn't receive any votes, The Randomizer selected the Way of the Ascetic for elimination from the nominations list.

Our two new books to be added to the list for consideration next month are A Canticle for Leibowitz, by Walter M. Miller Jr. and Life of St Peter of Alcantara, by Father Marianus.

We still have another ten days to continue the great discussion we've had on Jacob's ladder.

Thank you for choosing Comet Dust. I look forward to the discussion and will be available for questions.

If you would like a free digital copy, send me a PM by May 1st (Catholic Book Club members only).

Just to clarify the genre, Comet Dust is a supernatural thriller set in the near future.

It also fits under dystopian, horror, Christian, apocalyptic and suspense.

Even though I occasionally write science fiction, this particular novel doesn't fit in that category at all (despite what Amazon says, heh).

Thanks, C.D. I have come to exactly the same conclusion. By now I have read about one half of the book.

I also have the book and i am in the first page. I trust that i can advance, and i can participate in the debate. I did not use to read in screen :-(. But i do a bit effort.

I always wait and start on the first day of the month. The book arrived Friday and I will start Monday. If I haven't finished my previous book I will still start my CBC book on the first and read a chapter a day until I finish my last book from the prior month.

C.D., I think it may have been providential that your novel did not make it in April and has been chosen in May, the month of Our Lady. I have just finished your book and am overwhelmed.

I appreciate all of you giving my book a chance. Manuel, your comments mean a lot to me. Thank you!

Well John the problem is that i have never read before a book in English on Screen. The previous that i had read were on paper. I have a bit dificulties with the English for me it will be a fascinaiting an extreme challenge. But i could not dissapoint to Misstress Verhoff and more that Alfonseca told to me of this book. I am very interested in this kind of book for particular reasons. Alfonseca will explain the reasons of my interest.

I suppose you mean that we have discussed off-line your interest in utopias and dystopies, but I can't see why I must explain it. Couldn't you?
