Students in the Jonathan Law Book Club are getting prepared to start a new book by the beginning of October.

The Book Club was created for the students of Jonathan Law to enable to read books and be able to talk about them freely within a group of people who have the same interest in reading. Library Media Specialist and Book Club Advisor Ms. Mundy said she is excited for this year’s Book Club to begin.

“We pick one book a month to talk about and eat treats,” Mundy said. “It’s overall a great time.”

The first genre of book they are reading this year is fantasy, which is different from the mystery genre that they typically read. 

“(Advisor) Ms. Mundy usually picks the first genre but lets us vote on the genre and the book after that, but first we are reading a fantasy book which is different, but exciting,” Senior Abby DeJohnghe said. 

Book Club meets once a month to decide on the new book they are going to be reading. During these meetings, the club also has a discussion about the book they last read and sometimes they are even given treats made by Mundy. 

Book Club typically meets once a month during common time on F days.

“I love Book Club,” senior Giuliana Agria said. “It’s a great way to meet new people and come together and talk about anything, especially books. It’s definitely a smaller club, about 12 students.” 

Their first book, which they will begin to read in early October, is called “The House In The Cerulean Sea” by TJ Klune. This book was chosen for the group by Mundy. 

At the next meeting, the students in the club will have a vote on the next genre and the actual book that they will be reading for the next month.

“I’m relatively new to the club because my friends told me to join last year, despite me being a senior,” senior Serina Woosley said. ”Even though I don’t read often, I’m in adoration of some of the novels that Ms. Mundy picks out. She gives me Oreos because I am not allowed to have the snacks the other kids get.”
