About us
Welcome to the San Antonio Book Lovers Club
This is a space that you can bring your book/reading suggestions that you would like to share and participate in lively discussions with a group of fellow book lovers.
Our discussions are fairly free form, I will provide some discussion points about the reading and let the conversation flow. This is NOT a traditional structured type book club.
We will cover many topics from short stories, poetry, historical fiction, non-fiction, biographies, etc. The intent is for this group to be fueled by your input!
Happy Reading!

Book Club Discussion: The Goblin Emperor
Black Potion San Antonio, 1900 Fredericksburg Rd, Ste 101, San Antonio, TX, TX, USWe will meet at Black Potion
June Book Club Discussion:
# The Goblin Emperor - The Chronicles of Osreth #1 - Katherine Addison
Random.org - selected #227 (of 418)
A lush tale of deadly court intrigue and a modern classic of fantasy by Locus award winner and Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award finalist Katherine Addison
The youngest, half-goblin son of the Emperor has lived his entire life in exile, distant from the Imperial Court and the deadly intrigue that suffuses it. But when his father and three half brothers in line for the throne are killed in an "accident," he has no choice but to take his place as the only surviving rightful heir.
Entirely unschooled in the art of court politics, he has no friends, no advisors, and the sure knowledge that whoever assassinated his father and brothers could make an attempt on his life at any moment.
Surrounded by sycophants eager to curry favor with the naïve new emperor, and overwhelmed by the burdens of his new life, he can trust nobody. Amid the swirl of plots to depose him, offers of arranged marriages, and the specter of the unknown conspirators who lurk in the shadows, he must quickly adjust to life as the Goblin Emperor. All the while, he is alone, and trying to find even a single friend . . . and hoping for the possibility of romance, yet also vigilant against the unseen enemies that threaten him, lest he lose his throne–or his life.

July Book Club Discussion:
# Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
Random.org - selected #182 (of 421)
Suggested by StephanieCharlie Gordon is about to embark upon an unprecedented journey. Born with an unusually low IQ, he has been chosen as the perfect subject for an experimental surgery that researchers hope will increase his intelligence – a procedure that has already been highly successful when tested on a lab mouse named Algernon.
As the treatment takes effect, Charlie's intelligence expands until it surpasses that of the doctors who engineered his metamorphosis. The experiment appears to be a scientific breakthrough of paramount importance, until Algernon suddenly deteriorates. Will the same happen to Charlie?
